In 1955 Auster modified two T.7s, (along with WE563) for use in the Commonwealth Trans-Antartic Expedition, to be known as the Auster Antartic. Alterations included better radio equipment, a larger tail surface, use of floats or skis as required and a bright-orange high-vis scheme. After returning from the expedition this airframe was allocated the non-flying serial 7602M and was delegated to display status paving the way for her eventual arrival at Cosford during 1989.

Ordered as a multi-engine pilot trainer to replace the Varsity, the relationship between the Jetstream and the RAF was rather troubled. This airframe was built in 1970 but didn't enter service until Mar. 77. Shortly after her replacement by the Beech 200 in March '04 she undertook her final flight to Cosford and into retirement.

This enlarged successor to the Lancaster was developed with longer range Pacific sorties in mind but arrived too late to see active service during WWII. This particular aircraft spent most of her service life with various maintenance units before being struck off charge in 1963 and transferred to the RAF Museum in 1968.

In the early 1950 the adoption of a prone pilot was thought to offer the advantages of reduced drag (through elimination of the cockpit bulge) and better resistance to g-force swings when lying flat. In practice the difficulty of operating the controls outweighed these gains, especially after the development of special g-suits, and this plane was never flown solo from the forward, prone position.

Out of desperation the Japanese adapted a Ki-61 'Tony' fighter to carry a radial engine resulting in one of the best interceptors used by the Japanese during WWII. It combined excellent power and manoeuvrability but was limited at high-altitudes due to the lack of a supercharger. This is the only example extant and is on display at the RAF Museum Cosford.

The RAF Museum at Cosford has the only surviving, complete example of the Valiant. Indeed, at Cosford one can also see a Vulcan and a Victor, so is the only place where all three British V-bombers are on display.

The National Cold War Exhibition at Cosford contains many extremely interesting post-war aircraft in addition to this C-47 such as Belfast, F-111, Hastings, MiG-21, Valiant, Victor, Vulcan, York and many others. In addition there are lots of other interesting exhibits and informative multimedia displays that tell the story of this period.

Twenty-four Pucaras were dispatched to the Falklands during the conflict in 1982, of which five survived in reasonable condition. This example was selected for performance evaluation trials and shipped back to the UK for testing by the A&AEE (for which she was allocated the serial ZD485). In 1983 she was transferred to the RAF Museum at Cosford where she is now on display in the 'War Planes' hangar.

Hundreds of Jet Provost trainers were built and there was progressive development of the type as requirements changed over the years. However, there were only nine of the T.1 version produced, so great to see one at the RAF Museum.
