One of the first IX(B) Squadron Typhoons with the wartime code WS-G applied to the tail.

Unusual to see Typhoons operating from the Northern HAS site, the reason being that it carries a live ASRAAM (Advanced Short Range Air to Air Missile) under the wing.

A shark-mouthed Gulf War veteran, showing an impressive array of mission markings. Serving with the RAF's 9 Squadron and coded "AA".

On 1 January 1945 Lancaster DP377 'WS-U' was involved on a dawn attack on the Dortmund-Ems canal, when the bomber was badly hit by two shells, setting the aircraft ablaze. FS Thompson noticed the mid-upper gunner on fire and helped him to a safe place. Badly burned himself, he went to drag the rear-gunner, also ablaze, to a safe space. The aircraft crash landed and the crew were taken to hospital. Thompson started to recover, but developed pneumonia and passed away. Two weeks later he was posthumously awarded the Victoria Cross, now proudly commemorated on the tail of this 9 Sqn Typhoon FGR4.

Arriving on the Friday before the show.

Operated by one of the Coningsby Wing squadrons.

Avro Vulcan XL361 was on a trans-Atlantic flight from Woodford, UK to Offutt AFB in Nebraska on November 13, 1981 when it suffered an inflight fire and made an emergency landing at CFB Goose Bay, Labrador. Rather than repair the aircraft and return it to the UK, it became the gate guardian for the RAF detachment at Goose Bay, which utilized a large military practice range in Labrador. The Vulcan and a CF-101 Voodoo are displayed in a park near the airport's ATC tower. Photographed at YYR during a fuel stop while flying as a passenger in a Bombardier Q400 to the Paris Air Show.
