'Is this the box the JetRanger came in?' First flown on 23 January 1961, this bizarre-looking helicopter was powered by a vertically-mounted turbine with a compressor that fed air through the rotor head to ejectors at the tips. The shrouded tail rotor was later replaced by a conventional one. Apparently it was not just a technology demonstrator since five passengers or two stretchers could be accommodated and the doors could be removed for utility purposes. Development had stopped by 1963. The aircraft does not appear to have carried a registration or serial.

Formerly OY-DOD, a participant in the London-Melbourne race, this Dessouter was donated to Finland as an ambulance aircraft and it served from 1941 until 1944 in the air force as DS-1. After the war it was restored by Torsti Tallgren and Armas Jylhä. It was registered as OH-TJA on 17 November 1947. Unfortunately it already crashed a few weeks later on 4 December.

'The Home Fleet's summer exercises. A Blackburn Ripon plane dropping a torpedo which can be seen [in uncropped photo] striking the water. This picture was taken from H.M. aircraft carrier Furious.' Some searching reveals that the year was 1933 and the unit the FAA's No 811 Sqn, with a red fuselage band. S1572 was built as a Ripon IIA but may have been modified to IIC standard with metal wings.

F-AHAF first flew as a three-engined F.120 (F.4X) Jabiru on 21 February 1925 - see other photo. Supposedly it crashed in four-engined F.121 (F.3X) form only three months later in Romania. According to more credible information it flew until withdrawn in October 1931. Veteran pilot Colonel Gilbert Casse died on 31 October 1925 and in all likelihood the aircraft was named after his passing away.

Mayfair Air Services was a shady Croydon business which transferred at least a dozen aircraft to the fledgling Israeli Air Force. This Rapide was X7500 in the RAF and became S-74 in the IAF. What does the subtitle read - 'London & British Africa'? On the left is VQ-PAR, ex NR718 and on the right a Miles Aerovan, probably G-AJWI which crashed in IAF service on 17 July 1948. This very interesting photo was probably taken in Tel Aviv circa May 1948.

Trainer of Flieger-Ausbildungs-Regiment 12, making a flight from Hagenow to Münster, strayed into Dutch airspace and crashed in the city of Hengelo. Accompanying Gotha Go 145 WL-IKOL landed at Twenthe airfield. The wing shape confirms this as an Ar 66. Interestingly, although many Dutch people believed they would stay outside any war, a left-wing local newspaper wrote that the 22-year-old pilot acted as if he had conquered Holland on his own, telling people not to take photos of the wreck.

The US Army's GAX programme was an early attempt at an armoured ground attack aircraft, to be fitted with a 37-mm cannon firing through the propeller hub. Built by the Aeromarine Plane and Motor Company of Keyport, New Jersey, the PG-1 was, not surprisingly, a poor performer and unpopular with Army test pilots. The first of three machines delivered to the USAAS, 64245 is seen wearing McCook Field project number P-240.

First flown in August 1926, the LéO 21 was a large airliner based on the LéO 20 night bomber. It could carry 18 pax but on Air Union's Rayon d'Or / Golden Ray service from Paris to London it seated twelve, with a galley occupying the nose. The second prototype, designated LéO 212, is seen departing in a national air rally to the Auvergne, flown by Air Union chief pilot Robert Bajac.

Derived from the Hurricane, the Henley was intended as a light bomber but only ordered as a target tug, fitted with a winch on the left side of the rear cockpit. 200 Henley Mk.IIIs were built by Gloster between November 1938 and September 1940, but were found to be prone to Merlin engine failures. Apparently the cooling system was not up to target towing at high engine speed but relatively low airspeed. L3261 crashed on approach to RAF Catfoss, Yorkshire, on 18 July 1939.

Five Wellesley single-engined long-range bombers were modified to Vickers Type 292 standard for the RAF's Long-Range Development Unit, with changes including low-drag long-chord cowlings. L2680, centre, and L2638 set a new world distance record in November 1938, flying from Egypt to Darwin, Australia. L2639 landed in Kupang, Dutch Timor, but also broke the previous record. The aircraft then continued to Australia, made an emergency landing while touring the country and ended up in the RAAF as an instructional airframe.
