This Meteor was part of the last batch of seven to be built and served the RAE for continuation and instrument training, being repainted in this scheme towards the end of its career. Crashed not long after this photo, near to the tower at Farnborough after losing control during an asymmetric overshoot, on 14th February, 1975

The oldest surviving Meteor in the UK; only the former EE527, preserved in Argentina, is older (prototype DG202 at the RAF Museum was an F.9/40 and never officially named Meteor). Served A&AEE and wfu at Lasham in 1953, moving to the Midland Air Museum 20 years later. Lots to see here... (note the Fairey Ultra-Light Helicopter behind)

On loan from the RAF Museum at Cosford where she was displayed in a yellow colour scheme after use on photo chase work by A&AEE (see my 1983 shot at Cosford). Now restored to original 64 Sqdn colours and a highly appropriate exhibit at the Midland Air Museum as built here at Baginton by Armstrong Whitworth, like the Argosy from which this shot was taken

Epic sight at the Finningley Royal Review in 1977. This 101 Sqdn example is now slowly deteriorating in the Californian sun at the Castle Air Museum. The other three Vulcans are XH558 of 27 Sqdn, XL446 of 35 Sqdn & XL426 of 617 Sqdn (but don't ask which is which!)

Here having just arrived for attention by AT(E)L, this Viscount was originally Austrian Airlines' OE-LAG, delivered in 2.60 as "Frans Schubert". Modified with the under-belly radome for radar development work by the RRE Pershore, she will perhaps be better remembered in the later RAE "Raspberry Ripple" colours...

US Navy 46645 built 1945, to N10013 registered May 1956, to CF-IZO registered June 1956, in 1983 reregistered C-FIZO. In 1990 it was sold to the Forsvarsmuseet at Oslo-Gardermoen and later it went to Bodø for display in the Norsk Luftfartsmuseum. As Norway never had the PBY-6A with the tall fin this aircraft was restored in 1994 with the smaller fin of the PBY-5A and painted as RAF FP535 to commemorate the real FP535 that served with 330 (Norwegian) Sqn and that had disappeared in Nov 1942 near Iceland
