"Spirit of Great Britain" displaying at RNAS Yeovilton Air Day 2013. This was the first Vulcan B.Mk2 to be delivered to the RAF in 1960, and the last to leave service in 1993. It was one of nine to be converted to the Maritime Radar Reconnaissance (MMR) role in 1973 and one of six to a K.2 tanker in 1982 serving with No. 230 OCU, No. 27 and No. 50 Sqn.

RAF which depicts a Maltese Cross superimposed with a 'pi' symbol to denote the Squadron's service in France with the 7th Wing RFC, hence 22 over 7 or 'pi'. During World War II, F/O K. Campbell of 22 Sqn. was posthumously awarded the VC for his daring torpedo attack on 6 April 1941 on Gneisenau at Brest. The Squadron was based in India and Burma from April 1942 to Sept. 1945.

On display at RNAS Yeovilton Air Day 2013. This Jet Provost was built at Warton in 1969, being the third production example. It first went to the Central Flying School (CFS) where it flew with the unit's aerobatics team "The Red Pelicans". After upgrade to a T.5A, it was assigned to RAF Cranwell, then to No. 1 Flying Training School (1FTS), to 3FTS and back to 1FTS before being withdrawn from service in 1993. Sold into private hands, this Jet Provost remains airworthy.

Holding the nose high as the world's last flying Sea Vixen touches down on the active at RNAS Yeovilton Air Day 2013. The raw power from the pair of 50 kN Avon RA.24R Mk.208 engines said it all. She was delivered in Dec. 1963 to 899 NAS, which carried the mailed fist emblem. A total of 150 Sea Vixens were built, and FAW.2 differed externally from FAW.1 by its enlarged tailbooms.
