Built by Westward Airways at St Just. Sold to the Fleet Air Arm Museum in 1996, and stored since 2012 in Cobham Hall.

Delivered in 1977. Retired at Davis-Monthan AFB in 2001. Scrapped in 2017.

Delivered to the RAF 23 March 1954. To the Cardiff Airport fire dump 27 May 1963.

Deck landing trials apparently for the Sea Knight. The helicopter wears the original naval designation HRB-1, which changed to CH-46A as of 18 September 1962, but the photo must have been taken a little later as the HRB-1 first flew in August 1962 and this was the last of five airframes built in 1962. It was formally delivered in December but stayed at Boeing Vertol flight test department. It later went to Vietnam and crashed into the sea on a medical evacuation mission on 1 May 1967. One of the four crew - the gunner - and seven of the 13 wounded on board perished. Photo from: Boeing

This FY80 Hornet was a limited production version (F/A-18A-7) and was delivered to the US Navy on 30 June 1982. It was assigned to Test and Evaluation Squadron (VX) 5. It later served VX-4 and Flet Replacement Squadron (FRS) VFA-125 before it was transferred to the Blue Angels. The Hornet was moved to NASA Dryden on 21 September 1989 and became N847NA.

50 years VE-day special markings.

This '84 F/A-18A was used by the USNFDS up to 21 Apr'07. During the final minutes of the air show over MCAS Beaufort (SC), the pilots were doing a maneuver which involved all 6 Hornets joining to form a Delta triangle. 162897 did not rejoin and crashed, eight people on the ground got injured and the pilot, Lt.Cmdr. Kevin "Kojak" Davis (Blue Angels #6), was killed. The mishap was caused by a failure to perform a proper Anti-G Straining Maneuver, resulting in the pilot's suffering from possible physiological effects that contributed to his loss of situational awareness of his rate of descent.
