The only surviving example of 1064 Defiants built, flying with 307 (Polish) Sqn in WWII coded 'EW-D' (now appears on the aircraft at Hendon) and later with 153 and 285 Sqn. The Merlin-powered Defiant was initially successful but once German pilots became aware of the rear and upward firepower, it was severely hampered by the extra weight of the turret. Put aside for preservation as long ago as 1944, first displayed at St Athan in 1960 and moved to the RAF Museum in 1971, back in night-fighter black finish

With its camouflage paint peeling away from the original white anti-flash finish, this old Vulcan sits forlornly on the Manston fire school dump. Delivered in 5.58 as a Mk1 to 617 Sqdn at Scampton. On receiving Blue Steel air-launched missiles in 1961, the Dam Busters reformed as 50 Sqdn on the other side of Lincoln at Waddington and XH483 was converted to a B.1A. Flew to Manston 9.69 and was all gone by 1977

This unique one-off was a Hunter F.Mk.6 converted by Hawker to two seats. Initially fitted with Head-Up Display for TSR2 trials but later used for research by RAE Farnborough and RRE Bedford for Harrier avionics tests. Crashed on take-off from Farnborough after compressor disintegration on 18.3.82. Pilot ejected safely
