Built in 1945, too late to see active service in the Second World War, this Lancaster flew for the French navy in the early 1950s as WU-13. It was deployed to New Caledonia in 1957 until its donation to MOTAT in 1964. The aircraft is now painted as NE181 JN-M, which served with 75 (NZ) squadron and completed over 100 bombing missions in Europe during WWII.

Operated by B Flight, a training unit, at RAF Gosport. The "S" serial in this era stood for "Sea". It was for aircraft used by the Fleet Air Arm and aircraft used to train crews for the Fleet Air Arm. In the case of S1710, this was torpedo dropping. The FAA was administratively part of the RAF at the time. However aircraft assigned to ships came under Royal Navy command. In 1939 the entire FAA was put under navy control.

Operated by B Flight, a training unit, at RAF Gosport. The "S" serial in this era stood for "Sea". It was for aircraft used by the Fleet Air Arm and aircraft used to train crews for the Fleet Air Arm. In the case of S1710, this was torpedo dropping. The FAA was administratively part of the RAF at the time. However aircraft assigned to ships came under Royal Navy command. In 1939 the entire FAA was put under navy control.

Officially the prototype Wellington which crashed near Waldringfield on April 17, 1937. While selected for production, the Wellington was completely redesigned to create the distinctive aircraft that made up eight RAF squadrons at the start of World War II. Photo from: Imperial War Museums

DR845 was the prototype for Griffin-engined Spitfires. Originally designated Mk. IV, it was changed to Mk.XX (or F20) to avoid confusion with the PR.IV. The pristine condition of the aircraft suggests the photo was taken around the time of its first flight on November 27, 1941. That flight took place at Worthy Down (airfield closed in 1960 but site remained a defence establishment at the time of upload) and that has been used here. However, no location was provided by the IWM. Photo from: Imperial War Museums

XE612 was written off in an aborted take-off accident at RAF Horsham St Faith (now Norwich Airport) on 17th May 1960. The aircraft burned out but the cockpit section (shown in this image) was subsequently obtained and restored privately, being converted to a flight simulator.
