At the time recently placed on gate guard at RAF Wyton after withdrawal from ELINT duties with 51 Sqn there in 11.76. Previously with the RRE. Allocated 8511M but didn't last too long, being scrapped in 11.89. Two other Canberras were displayed but single gate guard policy dictated that WH773 was removed (to Gatwick) while XH170 survives at Wyton

The only time I ever saw a Javelin fly (other than in school athletics), XH897 of "A" Fighter Test Squadron A&AEE is seen here departing after static display at the 1971 Coltishall BoB Day. Now of course a well-known exhibit at Duxford. Taken with a borrowed 400mm of dubious quality, but a unique slide in my collection.

Displaying the marks of 232OCU but probably already flying for 55 Sqdn by this time, this Victor came to grief when it crashed in appalling weather on approach to Hamilton, Ontario, during an airshow on 19.6.86. Stripped out nose was retained by the CWH then moved to a private owner in Ohio

Began her career in 9.43 with the RCAF and put into service by the RAE at West Freugh in May 1969 as 'KG661'; in 1979 it was realised that this identity actually belonged to c/n 13478 so current serial ZA947 was allocated instead! On the strength of the Battle of Britain Memorial Flight since Sep 1993 and used for multi-engine training.

One of the most unusual exhibits at the RAF Museum, this Belvedere spent most of its short service life between 1962 and 1969 with 66 Sqdn in the Far East. Of the 26 built, three survive; the other two are at the Helicopter Museum at Weston-Super-Mare and the Museum of Science & Industry in Manchester at date of uploading.

One of the most unusual exhibits at the RAF Museum, this Belvedere spent most of its short service life between 1962 and 1969 with 66 Sqdn in the Far East. Of the 26 built, three survive; the other two are at the Helicopter Museum at Weston-Super-Mare and the Museum of Science & Industry in Manchester at date of uploading.

The 19 mark B(I)6 Canberras were built in 1955 as an interim measure pending the B(I)8, for ground-attack, interdictor and bomber roles. They served only 213 Sqn in RAFG, but this one (and WT308) went to the RAE instead. Used for weapons trials, the later 'Raspberry Ripple' scheme was modified with white undersides to improve performance of the wingtip mounted cameras. After a period as a ground apprentice trainer, she was scrapped in Jan 1998 but the nose section was saved for the FAST museum at Farnborough.
