This example was delivered to the RCAF in 1942 and served as a gunnery and bombing instructional airframe until struck off charge in 1946. She arrived in the UK during 1968 and underwent restoration before going on display at the RAF Museum in 1978. This aircraft is the former RCAF serial 10001

This Meteor was previously A77-876 with the RAAF before returning to the UK and being allocated to the RAE at Llanbedr. It was used to chase target drones, hence, this extremely high-vis scheme. Now part of the very friendly and welcoming Boscombe Down Aviation Collection - Old Sarum Museum.

Envisioned by Westland as a development of their successful Wapiti, the Wallace was rapidly overtaken by aeronautical progress, eventually only finding a role as a trainer or target tug. This example lay abandoned at Cranwell for thirty years and fell into disrepair. Fortunately, restoration was begun in 1987 and she is now on display at the RAF Museum.

Envisioned by Westland as a development of their successful Wapiti, the Wallace was rapidly overtaken by aeronautical progress, eventually only finding a role as a trainer or target tug. This example lay abandoned at Cranwell for thirty years and fell into disrepair. Fortunately, restoration was begun in 1987 and she is now on display at the RAF Museum.

Photographed at the Yorkshire Air Museum Night Shoot. The original plan was to have the Mossie outside but due to the bad weather, and the fact that the plane isn't waterproof, it was kept in the hangar. This worked out well though as it made for some nice shots with some of the museum's collection in the background. This aircraft was moved to Doncaster in 2017

In total 163 Varsities were built and of these 36 came off the production line at Brooklands. This Varsity was the 18th built and delivered to the RAF in 1951 and served until final retirement from No. 6 FTS at RAF Finningley in 1976. It spent the next 12 years at Sibson Airfield near Peterborough before being purchased by Brooklands Museum in September 1988. Note the 'Royal Air Force Training Command' titles and code letter are on the port side only.
