Delivered to the RAF in July 1962, XP395 operated with 110 Sqdn in Borneo during the early 1960s in camouflage. Moving to 230 Sqdn, it was deployed from Odiham to Nicosia for the UN forces in Cyprus in the late 1960s. By 1974 it was in yellow SAR colours with 22 Sqdn 'A' Flt at Chivenor. On withdrawal in 1981, it was sent to 1 SoTT at Halton taking up 8674M. In 1997 it was bought by the BBC for use in the TV series '999 Life Savers' and was submerged in a quarry at Plympton, Devon marked as XJ729 (possibly boom from that flyable aircraft). Wreck said to have been at North Luffenham by 2019

At the time assigned to 22 Sqn, this Whirlwind previously flew SAR duties with 202 Sqn. Its service career began in March 1962 but ended on 3rd June 1982 when it suffered a tail rotor failure and was written off at Koksijde AB. It was en route from Chivenor via Manston to RAF Gutersloh and this was to be its final flight anyway, intended as a ground instructional frame. It was later moved by road to Gutersloh being allocated 8688M upon arrival. Finally scrapped in May 1985 when the base was transferred from the RAF to the Army.

This Spitfire was taken on charge shortly after the end of WW2 in Europe and operated with 595 Sqdn, 695 Sqdn, 1 CAACU and 2 CAACU till January 1957 when an accident at RAF Little Snoring grounded it. After use as a gate guard at RAF Horsham St Faith (nowadays Norwich Airport) and a period at Duxford it took on similar duties at RAF Coltishall from 1966, remaining there till the end of 1988, after which it was sent to St Athan.

First flown as Sud SA.330A F-ZJUX in June 1968, XW241 was modified to SA.330E and delivered to Westland in October 1968 as a Puma pattern aircraft. Seen here in operation with RAE Bedford, it was struck off in November 1988 and stored, latterly at Farnborough. Since 2007 it has been on display at Farnborough Air Sciences Trust in the RAE 'Raspberry Ripple' colours as last operated.

Like many Lightnings, XS540 was first flown by Roly Beamont, taking to the air from Samlesbury where it was built on 25th May 1965. The trainer's service career spanned 111 Sqdn, 226 OCU (as seen here) and 5 Sqdn before being given maintenance serial 8534M at Binbrook in 1976 with the intention of transfer to Manston. This didn't happen and it was removed as scrap in September 1987

Seen here during its relatively short service career with 53 Sqdn, XR362 was the prototype Belfast, first flown on 5th January 1964 having initially been registered G-ASKE, marks which were restored for a year in mid-1965 with the Ministry of Aviation. When the 10 Belfasts were withdrawn from RAF service in 1976, XR362 was placed in storage at Kemble. Registered G-BEPE to Eurolatin in March 1977, it was moved to Stansted and then Southend where it became the first to undergo civilianisation for Transmeridian Air Cargo/HeavyLift - see my photo at #20855

Built at Woodford in 1959, this was the second production Vulcan B.2 and the first with Olympus 201 engines, refuelling probe and tail cone ECM bulge. At the time of this appearance it was still on the strength of 230 OCU but became the first Vulcan to have an extended ECM fin tip, becoming a B.2 (MRR) with 27 Sqdn. Scrapped in February 1982 at St Athan.
