Touch-down for the last time ever of the last VC-10 built, for preservation by the Brooklands Museum. Never would have dreamt I'd be taking this shot 36 years later when I took my photo of her as 5H-MOG in 1977!

Based on the pioneering Hawker P.1127 VTOL aircraft, the Kestrel was a development operated by the Tripartite Evaluation Squadron in 1965, based at RAF West Raynham and comprising crews from the UK, USA and West Germany, hence the unique markings seen here. They used nearby abandoned airfields for testing on unprepared runways and on grass. Nine were built before progress onto the fully-fledged Harrier GR.1. XS695 has been superbly restored and was placed on display at the start of 2014

A famous Vulcan indeed - used solely as a test bed for the Blue Steel missile project, then the Concorde Olympus 593 and later RB199 engine development with a mock-up MRCA (Tornado) fuselage under-slung including a trial cannon installation. F/f 10.05.57. An RR crew flew 903 into Farnborough from Filton on 27.2.79. Dismantling began in 1980 and finally b/u soon after this shot. Nose/cockpit saved and taken to Wellesbourne Mountford

This aircraft was originally delivered to the Queen's Flight but later transferred to the Defence Research Agency. It aquired a lot of non-standard bumps and bulges whilst there. The nose is preserved in the Boscombe Down Aviation Collection where it is seen here.

This aircraft is part of the wonderful Polish Aviation museum which I would highly recommend if you get a chance to visit. The roundel looks to be placed rather high on the fuselage on this wonderful restoration. Aircraft is actually SM411, painted as TB995.
