The Sunderlands design was so good that it is one of the very few pre-WWII types to remain in service with the RAF long after the end of that conflict. The type also participated in the Berlin Airlift and the Korean War with the last examples being scrapped at Seletar in 1959. After her RAF service this particular aircraft served for four years with the Aeronavale (51-56) before being donated to the Short Sunderland Trust for preservation.

This was apparently the first Belfast to fly and whilst it was tricky to keep serviceable, it was the last example operational as G-HLFT. Seen rolling down the runway at the Farnborough Air Show

This Lightning was delivered in 1963 to the Air Fighting Development Squadron (AFDS) at RAF Birnbrook. Some 3 yrs later, after having flown only 277 hours, she was returned to Warton for upgrade to F.2A standard, after which she was delivered to 19 Squadron at RAF Guttersloh. After the Lightnings in West Germany were replaced by F-4s, XN726 was trucked to Shoreburyness for use as a target in armament testing. Fortunately the nose was saved prior to the remains of the airframe being scrapped.

After the Wales Aircraft Museum at Cardiff disbanded their B2 Vulcan was scrapped with only the nose section being spared from the axeman. It is now on loan to the Jet Age Museum at Staverton where hopefully it will have a more secure future.
