A Blenheim Mk.V, initially known as the Bisley, fitted with an under-nose gun position. Note that, unlike the Mk.IV, the Mk.V cross section in front of the cockpit is symmetrical from just behind the nose to the windshield. The type was used by Bomber and Coastal Commands (who operated this example). It was built by Avro and Rootes in addition to Bristols, from whom photo was obtained.

This was the prototype Don training aircraft which first flew from Hatfield on 18 June 1937. The cabin allowed the type to be used as a radio trainer and the rotatable rear turret was used by gunnery trainees. Only 30 Dons were completed and all had been withdrawn by 1941. Obtained from DH 60 years ago.

The vast majority of Lancasters were powered by the inline Merlin engine. This is one of 200 powered by the Bristol Hercules radial engine. They were built in 1942/43 by Armstrong Whitworth as an insurance against shortages of Merlins. DS778 was flown by 408 (Canadian) Squadron based at RAF Balderton, Notts. It was lost on a raid on Kassel on 23 October 1943. From AWA 60 years ago.

The prototype Victor first flew on 24.12.52 and is seen displaying at its first Farnborough SBAC show in September 1953, wearing its manufacturers two-tone colour scheme with no underwing roundels. WB771 lost its tailplane due to tail flutter on 14.07.54 and was destroyed in the ensuing fatal crash.

The Bicentennial Air Show was a rare chance for Australians to see a Tornado. The logistics of bringing a fighter aircraft from Europe means going the long way round, via the US, or skilled diplomacy. Either way it involves long flights aided by tankers. A Tristar accompanied the Tornado visit.

It is serving here as the Red Arrows support aircraft, a dull grey aircraft on a dull grey day!

XV234 wears an Australian Bicentennial logo behind the cockpit with the legend "Fincastle 88". This is a reference to the Fincastle Trophy ASW contest staged in Australia that year. XV234 became one of the Nimrods converted to a MRA4 (as serial ZJ518) before that project was cancelled and the aircraft scrapped.
