Prototype Viscount G-AHRF that flew on July 16, 1948. From October 1948 to August 1949 it carried the RAF serial VX211 although it also remained civil registered. Reverted to G-AHRF a few days after receiving its special category certificate of airworthiness which allowed the test program to continue as a civil aircraft. Photo from: Imperial War Museums

The first Kaman helicopter, first flown on 15 January 1947. The K-125 was modified several times and here it has a single tailfin, presumably designated K-125A. The pilot is Charles Kaman and the passenger probably his wife Helen, who was both an aeronautical engineer and an artist. Photo by: Bernard Hoffman / Life
