Having recently photographed this F-86 which remains at the Hampton Air Power Park near Langley AFB, I thought it was time to compare with my slide from the days when nicely displayed in original natural metal finish

First flown in 10.43, the push-pull "Arrow" was the fastest production piston fighter of WWII, capable of 472mph at 21,000ft. This sole remaining example of 37 built was taken to the USA for evaluation after the war. Ferried from Oberwiesenfeld to Cherbourg escorted by two P-51s, the Do 335 was easily able to out-pace the escorts and arrived 45 minutes ahead. When returned to Dornier for restoration in 1974, explosive charges to blow off the tail and rear propeller in emergency were found still intact

Of the 466 Otters built, 184 went to the US Army as U-1As. There are nice examples of the DHC-2, 3 & 4 at the US Army Transportation Museum, but the light conditions in this corner make the Otter difficult to photograph

This exceptional exhibit is the only remaining example of the world's first operational jet-powered bomber. Although some 210 were built in the late stages of WWII, few entered service; those that did proved almost impossible to intercept. Behind is the similarly extraordinary Dornier 335

After wins in the Bendix Trophy air races of 1946 and 1947 for Paul Mantz in this Mustang while named "Stormy Petrel", Charles F Blair flew 3,478 miles non-stop from New York to London on 31.1.51 in the renamed "Excalibur III" at an average speed of 446mph in 7hr 48m, a record for a piston-engined aircraft. Four months later he flew 3,260 miles across the North Pole from Bardufoss, Norway to Fairbanks, AK. For many years a large scale model of the aircraft was displayed at Heathrow Airport
