Produced in Belfast, the Hereford was a variant of the Hampden powered by Napier Dagger engines, as the Hampden's Bristol Pegasus was expected to be in short supply. The Dagger was unreliable and the Hereford was used for training. L6057 was assigned to No 16 OTU at Upper Heyford when it crashed on 8 August 1941, but apparently it was based at Aldergrove in Northern Ireland as it swung into its Ballycassidy River on take-off from the St Angelo satellite airfield at Enniskillen.

This was the Pioneer prototype, VL515, originally powered by a DH Gipsy Queen inline engine. Re-engined with an Alvis Leonides radial, it became a civil Pioneer II, G-AKBF, and then the first Pioneer CC.1 for the RAF, XE512, in 1953. Photo stamped July 1953. Delivered in August and immediately shipped to Malaysia for service with the Far Eastern Air Force. Crashed there on 4 November 1958.

The forerunner of the Spartan Cruiser was the Mailplane, designed by Edgar Percival and built by Saunders-Roe as the Saro A.24 Mailplane, but redesignated the Spartan Mailplane before its first flight on 1 June 1931. In 1932 the single tailfin was replaced by a twin unit. Two passenger seats and windows, still missing here, were added and the aircraft was named Blackpool for a flight to Karachi by Neville Stack in June 1932. G-ABLI reportedly scrapped in February 1933.

The Whirlwind was a single-seat twin-engine fighter-bomber aircraft introduced in 1940. Only 114 Whirlwinds were built, 2 prototypes and 114 production Mk.I's. At least At least 67 Mk.II conversions were made from the original Mk.I. The Mk.II was fitted with under wing bomb racks and was nicknamed "Whirlibomber". During the Second World War, only three RAF squadrons were equipped with the aircraft and, despite its success as a fighter and ground attack aircraft, it was withdrawn from service in 1943.
