When this Tornado was hastily prepared for duty in Operation Desert Storm in 1991, it was incorrectly marked ZD374 - this was never corrected and it still carries that serial having been donated to the NMUSAF in 2002

This Javelin made the last ever flight of type when it was delivered to Duxford in January 1975, after service with the A&AEE at Boscombe Down where chase and calibration work had included trials as part of the SC.9, Concorde and MRCA programmes. It was orinaly built as an FAW.7 and served 5, 25 and 33 Sqdns before acquiring the high visibility paintwork with A&AEE. My shot here shows it taking off from Coltishall in 9173

Floats removed during the current AirSpace reorganisation upheaval. Duxford's Sunderland was built by Short Brothers at Rochester as the first production Mk V. The primary improvement over the Mk III was the replacement of the 965hp Bristol Pegasus engines by 1,200hp Pratt & Whitney R-1830 Twin Wasps. After postwar Aeronavale service, the aircraft became badly derelict and a massive restoration effort by Duxford Aviation Society volunteers from 1976 and through the 1980s brought it back to the superb condition in which it is now on show

The Mk.24 was the final variant of the Spitfire and this particular aircraft, built by Supermarine at South Marston in 1947, saw RAF service in Hong Kong with 80 Sqdn and later with the Royal Hong Kong Defence Force until 1955. After local refurbishment in 1983 it went on show outside RHKAAF HQ at Kai Tak for five years

Recently removed from the AirSpace hangar where it was displayed for many years hanging from the ceiling. First flown in May 1953, WT725 entered service with 15 Sq at RAF Coningsby and later transferred to 50 Sq at RAF Binbrook, moving to RAF Upwood with the squadron when they switched stations. SoC in 1972 and initially preserved by the IWM outdoors
