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

These three 23 Sqn Lightnings had already made their last flights by the time of this photo. Behind are F.1As XM169 (W) and XM177 (Y). XM144 had previously served the Leuchars and Wattisham TFFs, Leconfield Stn Flt, 226 OCU and 74 Sqn. After use for ground instruction at Leuchars, restored in 74 Sqn marks and placed as gate guard till 9.89. Only the nose now survives, at Lakes Lightnings in Cumbria

At the time recently placed on gate guard at RAF Wyton after withdrawal from ELINT duties with 51 Sqn there in 11.76. Previously with the RRE. Allocated 8511M but didn't last too long, being scrapped in 11.89. Two other Canberras were displayed but single gate guard policy dictated that WH773 was removed (to Gatwick) while XH170 survives at Wyton

WK128 was allocated to the Royal Radar Establishment and flew from 1958, initially as a jamming aircraft for "window" launching tests, then guided weapons fusing and laser designation research. Modified by Flight Refuelling at Tarrant Rushton in 1977 for Beech AQM-37A "Stilletto" trails. To RAE/DRA at Llanbedr in 1978; scrapped 11.04, nose to the RRE's home at Pershore

The only time I ever saw a Javelin fly (other than in school athletics), XH897 of "A" Fighter Test Squadron A&AEE is seen here departing after static display at the 1971 Coltishall BoB Day. Now of course a well-known exhibit at Duxford. Taken with a borrowed 400mm of dubious quality, but a unique slide in my collection.
