The M.1 fighter was an advanced aircraft when it first flew in 1916. Due to wariness about its monoplane configuration and landing speed, it was built in limited numbers and only saw some frontline service in the Middle East and Balkans theatres of WWI. This replica made a few flights in 1987. It was then acquired by the RAF Museum, given an original Le Rhône engine and painted as an aircraft of an instructor flying school of the RFC, C4994.

The Balliol advanced trainer had side-by-side seating plus a rear seat for a second student, but the latter was removed during the type's short RAF career. It looks rather fat from behind and very large standing next to a Chipmunk. This aircraft has been rebuilt around the cockpit section of WN149.

The air defence Tornado was retired before I knew it, leaving me without good photos of this aircraft, so I was grateful that this one was put on display at the Cosford airshow as part of the RAF's centenary celebrations. However, how could they go through that trouble and then fail to remove the unsightly engine covers?

The TSR-2 exemplifies one of the saddest episodes in the long history of British aviation, leading to this famous quote from renowned aircraft designer Sir Sydney Camm "All modern aircraft have four dimensions: span, length, height and politics. TSR-2 simply got the first three right." This aircraft never actually flew, rather had almost been completed when the programme was cancelled. One of the absolute highlights of the wonderful RAF museum at Cosford.

When the dust of WWII settled, this was one of only two surviving Junkers Ju 88s. Note the familiar BMW logo on the BMW 801 engines, and the antenna forest on the nose of this early Ju-88R night fighter. It was flown to RAF Dyce in Scotland on 9 May 1943 by its defecting pilots, who were probably British agents. The capture of its Lichtenstein radar was of great interest to Allied intelligence.

When the dust of WWII settled, this was one of only two surviving Junkers Ju 88s. Note the familiar BMW logo on the BMW 801 engines, and the antenna forest on the nose of this early Ju-88R night fighter. It was flown to RAF Dyce in Scotland on 9 May 1943 by its defecting pilots, who were probably British agents. The capture of its Lichtenstein radar was of great interest to Allied intelligence.

Seen rehearsing for the show, this was one of the first British Chinooks upgraded to Mk HC6A standard, similar to the new-built Chinook HC6. This is equivalent but not identical to the CH-47F.
