This 1953 reconaissance Canberra was placed on display at the Manston fire school in 6.69 (allocated 8049M after 231 OCU service), along with a Javelin and Spitfire, but was scrapped in 3.90. Based on the Canberra B.2, the PR.3 had a 14" section inserted in the forward fuselage to house seven cameras, and replaced the Mosquito PR.34 in RAF service. Nose now at the Flixton museum

The Lightning never really looked its best in camo so here is a well-known example in its original 11 Sqdn colours. XR724 was later allocated to BAe at Warton as chase aircraft in Tornado radar development trials and was then flown into storage at Shawbury. Tendered the by MoD in 1991, it was purchased by the Lightning Association and flown to Binbrook on 23.7.92 where attempts to restore the airframe and keep it in running condition have been frustrated by the disposal of the airfield and accommodation issues

The Lightning never really looked its best in camo so here is a well-known example in its original 11 Sqdn colours. XR724 was later allocated to BAe at Warton as chase aircraft in Tornado radar development trials and was then flown into storage at Shawbury. Tendered the by MoD in 1991, it was purchased by the Lightning Association and flown to Binbrook on 23.7.92 where attempts to restore the airframe and keep it in running condition have been frustrated by the disposal of the airfield and accommodation issues

Seen here with 617 Sqdn's distinctive dam-buster insignia, XL425 was built as a B.2 Blue Steel and delivered to 83 Sqdn at Scampton on 30.8.62. She was converted to 'free-fall' in 1970 and allocated to 617 in 11.72, 27 Sqdn in 11.73, and back to 617 in 4.74, finally meeting the scrapper's axe at Scampton in 6.82

One of my earliest Kodachromes, at the Battle of Britain Day. This Scampton Wing Vulcan, still resplendent here in the original glossy camouflage, was delivered on 19.7.62 and lost on 11.8.78 when it crashed practicing for a display at Glenview NAS, Chicago. Note the Isaacs Fury II 7/10ths scale replica G-ASCM in the foreground

The Nimrod R.1 recce variant had more aerials than the more numerous MR.1 version. This example wears the badge of No. 51 Squadron which it served until retirement in 2011.

This two-seat Hunter is of 1959 vintage and was with 4 FTS at the time of this shot but ended up with the ETPS in Raspberry Ripple colours. Bought privately as G-BNCX with a view towards a further flying career but moved from Bournemouth to the Brooklands Museum where it was placed on display. Now preserved at Dunsfold
