'MacRobert's Reply' refers to the true story of a widow making a donation to the RAF following the death of her three sons at the outbreak of WW2. Lady MacRobert requested that the money be used to buy a bomber as her way to reply to the Nazi regime. It was to be named 'MacRobert's Reply' and it would become perhaps the most famous Short Stirling bomber of the war.

This aircraft has recently been transferred from 25 Squadron to 56(R) Squadron. It still wears the tail markings of 25 Squadron and the new operators' nickname the "Firebirds" inscribed on the red and white chequered tail band.

Later became G-BFAW

Wearing the emblem and titles of the Royal Air Forces Association (RAFA) charity, this particular Tucano was the spare display aircraft for the 2013 Airshow Season.

72 Squadron

Oberfeldwebel Karl Hier of I/JG 76 had to land his Bf 109E at Wœrth, Alsace on 22 November 1939. It was test-flown by the French at Orléans - Bricy, then handed over to the RAF on 2 May 1940. In 1942 it was shipped to the USA for testing at Wright Field. Note the faux swastika painted on by the Americans - they liked to dress up captured aircraft and amazingly, even in this stage of the war it was apparently not a safety concern. We found information that the photo was taken at LGA during the filming of a propaganda reel. P-40E 41-25026 is seen on the right and a P-39 Airacobra, probably 41-7249, on the left.
