"Kate" 302 arrives from Rabaul as part of the surrender of Japanese forces in the South-West Pacific. The Japanese had requested permission to surrender their remaining airworthy aircraft to an Allied air arm and Jacquinot Bay was the nearest Allied air base. 302 remained there deteriorating until about 1982 when it was dismantled and stored. It found its way to the Pacific Aviation Museum in Honolulu in 2014 via Australia and New Zealand Photo from: Air Force Museum of New Zealand

The Flycatcher was one of the earliest aircraft designed specifically for carrier operation. It also could be fitted with floats or amphibious floats for operation from catapults. The floats in the photo are not amphibious. This early production aircraft has an Armstrong-Siddeley Jaguar engine. Flycatchers were also delivered with Bristol Jupiters.

Private venture designed to meet RAF specification F.7/30. The engine is a Rolls Royce Goshawk installed behind the pilot. Also known as the PV.4. In the end, specification F.7/30 was cancelled. The RAF did have a preference for one of the contenders, the Gloster Gladiator, and a new specification written around it. Photo from: Imperial War Museums

The T.S.R. II was the prototype for the production model of the Swordfish. It had followed on from the T.S.R. I which in turn evolved from the S.9/30. The photo here shows it as it first flew with small bumps on the Townsend ring. A smooth Townsend ring was fitted in 1935. K4190 was kept busy because it was used for trials for both the landplane and seaplane versions. Photo from: Imperial War Museums

This was the first production Anson. It was moved around between the Avro factory at Woodford and A&AEE at Martlesham Heath, RAE Farnborough and RAF Gosport, which focused on naval and coastal operations and training. In 1939 it was finally delivered to an operational squadron. On October 13 that year K6152 overran RAF Catterick and was wrecked. Photo from: Imperial War Museums

The Hoopoe was a private venture naval fighter that first flew in 1927 and went through many changes before it was sent for service trials in 1932. By then progress had overtaken it and the Hawker Nimrod became the FAA's preference. The photo shows the Hoopoe in its 1929 configuration with an Armstrong-Siddeley Jaguar engine in place of the original Bristol Mercury and single-bay wings in place of two-bay wings. The Jaguar engine was later replaced with an Armstrong Siddeley Panther. N237 was scrapped in 1932. Photo from: Imperial War Museums

The first 35 Tiger Moths for the RAF were powered by Gipsy III engines as the Tiger Moth I. They were followed by thousands of DH-82A Tiger Moth II which were powered by the more powerful Gipsy Major I. K2578 had a short service life and was stuck off charge in 1934.

G-AFTH during basic trainer trials soon after the A&AEE had moved from Martlesham Heath. The DH-94 was not adopted by the RAF. Instead the jigs and tools and all unfinished airframes and components were shipped to Australia where production continued. About 40 aircraft came off the Australian line but only four of them were entirely Australian. The RAAF, in common with the RAF, preferred the DH82 Tiger Moth and its DH-94s were mainly used as squadron hacks. G-AFTH meanwhile was impressed into the RAF as HM585 and did not survive the war.

G-AFTH during basic trainer trials soon after the A&AEE had moved from Martlesham Heath. The DH-94 was not adopted by the RAF. Instead the jigs and tools and all unfinished airframes and components were shipped to Australia where production continued. About 40 aircraft came off the Australian line but only four of them were entirely Australian. The RAAF, in common with the RAF, preferred the DH82 Tiger Moth and its DH-94s were mainly used as squadron hacks. G-AFTH meanwhile was impressed into the RAF as HM585 and did not survive the war.

Early production MkII attached to the Marine Aircraft Experimental Establishment. It was delivered to 228 Squadron in April 1937 then passed to 240 Squadron when 228 converted to Sunderlands. K5258 became an early loss in World War II when it was shot down on December 19, 1939 while operating out of the Shetlands. Photo from: Imperial War Museums

L7271 was sent to Belfast as Short Brothers prepared to start production of the Napier Dagger engined Hereford. The Dagger engine proved troublesome and many were converted to Hampdens with Bristol Pegasus engines. One site reports L7271 was lost over Libya in 1942 when being operated by 21 Squadron. It did not operate Herefords or Hamptons and Herefords never operated over Libya. L7271 was not production standard and is unlikely to have been delivered to an operational or even training unit.
