Four Goélands in a derelict state at an unknown airfield in France, probably during the late 1950s. At least the foreground aircraft is French civil-registered the others most probably are too. Photographer not known.

The Jodel D.9 Bébé is a French single-seat ultralight monoplane designed to be homebuilt from a kit by amateur pilots. The prototype was flown for the first time in January 1948 and over one thousand kits have since been produced. This example was built by an Italian gentleman in 2001 and since donated to the museum.

These are the remains, mostly engines and cannon, of a Kampfgeschwader 51 'Edelweiss' Me-262 that crashed at Eberbach-Selz on 14th January 1945. The pilot, Leutnant Oswald Ritter von Rittersheim, was killed and is buried in the cemetary at Bergzaben. Please get in touch if the Werk Nummer (serial) of this plane is known.

This F-13 is one of a batch of seven seized as war reparations. On display in the Inter-war Years Hall at this super museum.

The Voisin 10 (or X) was a French two-seat pusher biplane built in two versions, either fitted with a 37 mm cannon (the LBR or Ca.2) or as a conventional bomber (the LAR or Bn.2). It first entered service in late 1917 but had poor performance relative to contemporary fighters so was often relegated to night operations. Despite its obsolescence, it would make up the bulk of front line night bomber escadrilles until the end of the war. This example is the 4th plane produced (not 4 as a serial) and flew with Escadrille V110. This fuselage is the only survivor of all the 900 Voisin 10's built.

The Norazur salespeople at the 1949 Salon presumably had a quiet time. Sources are not sure if a second prototype, the N.2101 with Béarn 6 engines, was built, but apparently it was - this does not seem to be a mock-up. See photo 446955 of the Dassault Ouragan for a frontal view. The N.2100, F-WFAB, took part in the flying show at Orly, wearing show number 18. Photo by: Dmitri Kessel / Life

When this Viking was inducted into the Naval Air Rework Facility. It was stripped of paint and given a sequence number. Later it will be painted and assigned to a VS Squadron.

Built locally from original plans in 1996, the Museum's single-seat Le Pou du Ciel H.M.14 is a replica of the 14th Model of the famous aircraft. Power is provided by a converted Citroen 2CV four-stroke vehicle engine.

In the autumn of 1945, this P-39 was found complete (and presumably still crated) on a stray railway wagon near Radom. It was still it its USAAF markings so, presumably, a lend lease airframe that had been transported to the front, but as the war had progressed the plane had become surplus to requirements. The Airacobra was puchased by the Wawelberg & Rotwand Technical School in Warsaw and used for instructional teaching. It then passed to the Mechanical Faculty of the Warsaw University of Technology, however, in all the intervening years the fuselage, the serial and other parts have become lost.

The Grigorovich M-15 was a successful Russian WWI reconnaisance biplane flying boat but due to a shortage of engines was only built in small numbers. This example was delivered to the air squadron of the Arensburg fortress on the Baltic Isle of Saarema. It was captured by the Germans during Operation Albion in October 1917 and sent to the German Naval Research Center at Warnemünde for evaluation. It was later part of Göring's pre-WWII private collection in Berlin that was transported to Poland for safekeeping due to the danger of Allied bombing. This M-15 is the only surviving example.

LK-A my father was the 'fitter' for this Hurricane which is in 'night fighter' mode in this picture which he took of his 'rigger' warming up the Merlin engine.
