The A&AEE Britannia graces Northolt's apron on a fine summer's day. She started her working life just down the road with BOAC as G-AOVM in 6.58 and ended it as 9Q-CHY in Zaire where she arrived in 1984. Here she later took the honour of being the world's last operating Brit (apart from 9Q-CJH ex-RAF XM496 now preserved at Kemble, after being flown in during October 1997) till withdrawal in 1991 and eventual scrapping at Kinshasa

This privately-owned Strikemaster is one of 16 which were delivered to the R Singapore AF in 1970, serving till 1983. It first arrived back in the UK in 1994 as G-SARK and is seen here resplendent in its original livery featuring the first-generation RSAF roundel which is the same as that used by Turkey and Peru

The former Bu No. 160754 joined the RAAF 27.5.78 seen here on a rare visit to the UK while with 10 Sqdn before the marks were toned down. On 26.4.91 she ditched in a lagoon in the Cocos Islands just off the beach. Attempts to drag the aircraft out of the water failed and the wreck was cut up and eventually dumped at sea, although Air Force personnel made several visits for about a year to retrieve parts. The nose was initially preserved on the islands and the tail became a memorial back at RAAF Edinburgh
