Unfortunately this Ohka has no serial but was first noted at the Science Museum in 1963. I would be happy to hear if anyone has more definitive information on its provenance. It is now stored in the Fleet Air Arm's Reserve Collection at Cobham Hall.

This George is on display at the National Museum of the USAF and is one of only three extant restored examples. It is a fighter-bomber variant equipped with wing mounts to carry bombs and is painted as an aircraft in the Yokosuka Kokutai, an evaluation and test unit similar in function to the USAAF's Flight Test Unit at Wright Field.

My visit to MAN was aborted due to terrible weather in Manchester so settled instead for a visit to the super Museum of Science and Industry. This, unfortunately, unmarked Ohka was brought to Britain after WWII for rocket research and is just one of many interesting exhibits.

The 'Jack' was intended as an interceptor to counter the threat of high-altiitude bombers and so relied on speed, climb performance and armament at the expense of manoevrability. Despite initial promise continual teething and supply problems meant they never fulfilled their potential. Of the 621 aircraft built this is the only survivor at the Planes of Fame museum.

This 'Betty' is another of the unique aeroplanes to be seen at the super Planes of Fame museum. This example was built in Nagoya Works No.3 during April 1942 and had likely crash landed sometime before mid-1944 and finally recovered from Babo Airfield, Indonesia in 1991. This wreck is the only complete 'survivor' on display of 2,435 of all variants produced.
