Hunter F.6 XE627 was first flown in June 1956 and served with 65, 92 and 54 Sqdns plus 229 OCU, then 1 Sqdn and finally 1 TWU before modification to F.6A and eventually retirement in the early 1980s. Appropriately repainted in the mid-1990s, immaculately finished in the marks of 65 Sqdn which operated the aircraft here at Duxford

Floats removed during the current AirSpace reorganisation upheaval. Duxford's Sunderland was built by Short Brothers at Rochester as the first production Mk V. The primary improvement over the Mk III was the replacement of the 965hp Bristol Pegasus engines by 1,200hp Pratt & Whitney R-1830 Twin Wasps. After postwar Aeronavale service, the aircraft became badly derelict and a massive restoration effort by Duxford Aviation Society volunteers from 1976 and through the 1980s brought it back to the superb condition in which it is now on show

Recently removed from the AirSpace hangar where it was displayed for many years hanging from the ceiling. First flown in May 1953, WT725 entered service with 15 Sq at RAF Coningsby and later transferred to 50 Sq at RAF Binbrook, moving to RAF Upwood with the squadron when they switched stations. SoC in 1972 and initially preserved by the IWM outdoors

XM135, the first full-production Mk.1 Lightning, made its maiden flight in November 1959 and served the CFS, 74 Sqdn, 226 OCU and the Leuchars TFF before being stored in 1971 at 60 MU Leconfield as the last F.1 to fly. The aircraft is notable for a 1966 incident when Wing Commander Walter "Taff" Holden accidentally took off during taxi tests due to advancing the throttles into reheat, narrowly avoiding multiple accidents before safely landing. Transferred to the IWM in 1974

XX109 first flew in November 1972 and was the second production GR.1. It commenced flying with the A&AEE in May 1973 and was most famously used for a motorway takeoff and landing carried out on the M55. In 1986 it was flown into RAF Coltishall and retired to become a weapon-loading trainer. With the invasion of Kuwait, the preparations for war included trials of suitable camouflage and XX109 was selected to trial the desert pink scheme. Acquired by the Norwich museum in September 2004

Built 1971 as a Nimrod MR.1 and converted to MR.2 standard at Woodford over a two year period between 1978 and 1980, the third of some 35 aircraft so modified. On retirement in 2010 it was allocated to the RAF Museum at Cosford, but due to the short runway there it was instead flown to Norwich for preservation, albeit that two years later Cosford did receive a Nimrod R.1. XV255 arrived at Norwich in May 2010

Built in 1968 for the Royal Saudi AF, this Lightning first flew as G-AWON and was displayed at the 1968 Farnborough Airshow. Delivered to Saudi in 1969, it served as 53-686, then 201, 1305 and finally as 223 before being returned to BAe in 1986 as part of a Tornado deal. After storage and a failed resale. It went on display in Norwich in 2002 in the correct RSAF markings. Around 2020 the right side was repainted in 74 Sqdn colours to represent one of their Lightning F.6s
