The Mohawk was one of the series of Miles Monoplanes including the Falcon, Whitney Straight, Hawk Trainer, and the Master and Magister trainers. It was a tandem two-seat cabin monoplane designed for Charles Lindbergh and this was the sole example built. It was written off in a landing accident in Spain in 1949 and the remains were found in a scrapyard in 1973. It was acquired by the RAF Museum in 2000 and has now been magnificently restored.

A real classic aircraft. Built in 1936 the aircraft was discovered in pieces in a barn in Ireland in 2002. After in excess of 10,000 man hours of work over a six year period it returned to the air in November 2008, a tribute to the restorer's magnificent work.

Built in 1936, a piece of British Aviation Heritage. It was an all wooden racing aircraft, significant enough to be represented in the RAF Museum with a replica though this is the real thing.

Despite the attractive colours, this airline lasted only for seven months starting in March 2006. The aircraft was first with PSA as N352PS from March 1985 and joined Titan in 1997 as G-ZAPL after being leased to Debonair. Became EI-PAT with CityJet in AF colours, then TN-AIC, D6-BJH and stored as ZS-SFZ in 2010

The well-known NAF Mildenhall Super Dak at the annual Open House. On 21.11.73 the aircraft encountered severe icing over Iceland during a local supply flight, making it impossible to maintain height, so the crew elected to make a forced landing on a frozen river. The ice broke but 171 stayed afloat. After recovery the remains were abandoned and are still there topped by ice and snow

The recovery operation begins. Flight BA38 landed about 300 meters short of runway 27L on 18 Jan 2008, after both engines had lost power due to a restricted fuel flow. The left main gear was pushed up through the wing, and the right main gear separated from the wing entirely. Fuel leaked, but there was no fire. Actually witnessing the scene brought home the extraordinarily short distance in which Triple Mike stopped. The lack of deformation is some credit to the integrity of Boeing's design, too.

The recovery operation begins. Flight BA38 landed about 300 meters short of runway 27L on 18 Jan 2008, after both engines had lost power due to a restricted fuel flow. The left main gear was pushed up through the wing, and the right main gear separated from the wing entirely. Fuel leaked, but there was no fire. Actually witnessing the scene brought home the extraordinarily short distance in which Triple Mike stopped. The lack of deformation is some credit to the integrity of Boeing's design, too.
