This beautifully restored Martlet is now on display in Hall 2 of the Fleet Air Arm Museum. This is the only surviving F4F-4 and was originally intended for French AF service but transferred to the RAF after the fall of France in 1940. She spent most of WWII stationed in Scotland and then as an instructional airframe before arriving at the museum in the late 1950s.

This venerable old Sea Vampire has had an eventful service life including being; the first jet aircraft to land on a ship at sea, damaged when undercarriage 'up' was selected on the ground and being damaged during arrester barrier trials at RAE Farnborough. She has certainly earned her retirement on board the FAA Museum's 'aircraft carrier' at Yeovilton.

This Harrier was w/o when a compressor blade detached on take-off and caused the engine to explode. After a forced emergency landing the pilot ejected through the flames. The aircraft was extensively damaged but has been rebuilt to display standard by the excellent Boscombe Down Aviation Collection at Old Sarum.
