Early production Albemarle. This photo is sometimes dated March 6, 1942 but the IWM caption says was taken after assembly by AW Hawksey at the factory aerodrome (known as Hucclecote at the time). 13 Albemarles had flown by the end of the 1941 and P1372 was the 13th Albemarle. The date might be the date the photo was received by the records office. Following trials with the Aeroplane and Armament Experimental Establishment, P1372 served with No. 511 Squadron RAF and No. 42 Operational Training Unit. Photo from: Imperial War Museums

Part of the first batch of Argus to arrive in the UK. The Air Ministry was unaware that the British Purchasing Commission had already allocated a serial in the EV block and gave it a new serial HM181. It was decided it and the small number of other aircraft affected should keep their new serials. The rest of the batch received BPC-allocated EV serials. HM181 was delivered to the Air Transport Auxiliary. Photo from: Imperial War Museums

A23-1001, the sole CA-4, was lost when it exploded in midair near Kilmore, Victoria, on January 15, 1943. A fuel leak was the suspected cause. Work had already started on a production version, the CA-11 Woomera. 105 were ordered, then trimmed to 20 and finally only the first, A23-1, was completed and flown. It and the incomplete aircraft were sold for scrap. Photo from: State Library of South Australia

The RAF rejected the Lightning after receiving three aircraft (AE978 - AE980) which remained in the US. Lockheed insisted the RAF take the 667 aircraft ordered by the Anglo-French purchasing committee. The stand-off ended when the US entered the war and needed fighters itself. The RAF reevaluated the aircraft later but after testing in the UK turned down the type a second time. Photo from: Whites Aviation Collection/Alexander Turnbull Library

A strengthened variant of the abandoned Kl 105 which only had a 50-hp engine, the Kl 107 first flew in 1939. D-ESKL was the last of five Kl 107s built in the Nazi era. It was sent to Rechlin for trials in July 1941 but the Bü 181 Bestmann was preferred as a military trainer. Yet this was not the end of the Kl 107 as the Kl 107B entered production in 1958.

Damaged at Condobolin, NSW and sent to Clyde at Lidcombe for repairs. Turret fitted by Clyde. With no airstrip at Lidcombe, R9884 taken by road to an RAAF base, probably 10km to Bankstown where 2 Air Park was stationed. R9884 was sold to a civilian operator after World War II but did not join the register. Photo from: Powerhouse Museum

The GAL-38 was a slow four-engine long-endurance aircraft that was supposed to shadow enemy fleet movements - clearly no opposition in the air was expected at sea. The Air Ministry print identifies the type as the S.23/37 after the 1937 specification, but the same designation would apply to the competing Airspeed AS.39 which was also built. This is the first of two GAL-38 prototypes, which had its triple tailfins replaced by a tall single fin by June 1941. The date stamp on the back seems to read June 1943 but P1758 was already ordered to the scrap heap in March 1942. Photo from: Air Ministry (UK)

There are two versions as to when and where A16-10 ended on its nose. One says it was an accident at RAAF Richmond on October 31, 1940. The other says the date of the accident was December 31, 1940 and at Darwin. At the time of both accidents the aircraft was with 13 Squadron which was a Darwin-based bomber squadron. The photo is dated 1941. A16-10 was repaired by Clyde Engineering, a large engineering company, at its aircraft repair facility in Sydney. Back in RAAF service, A16-10 was sent to 1 OTU in Victoria. Scrapped in 1948. Photo from: Powerhouse Museum
