Australia's highest-scoring ace, Robert Alexander Little, achieved his first aerial victories flying this Pup, named Little Maud, whilst serving with with No 8 (Naval) Squadron on the Western Front in late 1916 and early 1917. Found as a heap of parts in France, the aircraft took to the air again in 1973 as G-APUP after a 13-year rebuild, and was recognized as original by the CAA.

With the insignia of RNAY Sydenham featuring the red hand of Ulster, this Sea Vixen was decommissioned in 3.84 and sent to the fire school at RAF Catterick where it was burnt out by 1988. On 28.1.63 while serving with 893 NAS, it was one of four hit by XJ585 during a night landing accident aboard HMS Centaur, but was repairable.

This view of a pair of 809 NAS Buccs shows the robust construction which earned the type various nicknames including 'The Brick'. XN982 was production aircraft no. 49, originally ordered in 1961 as an S.1 but not accepted until 3.65 at Lossiemouth. Damaged at Cecil Field, FL, some time after this photo, returned to UK as deck cargo and to 19 MU St Athan. Scrapped at Brough 7.92. XV868 behind was also scrapped in the same year, at Elgin

This Hunter was constructed as an F.4 for the RAF, f/f 4.2.55, and was one of the first to be re-built as a T.8 two-seater for the FAA in 1959. In 1970 she joined what became the FRADU at Yeovilton serving till 1994 when flown to Shawbury for disposal, having become the oldest flyable Hunter in the world in 1983. She was auctioned next year with 9,500 hrs/12,500 landings, ferried to Exeter as G-BWGN in 1996 and moved to Kemble in 2006 and on to Coventry for the new Airbase centre in 2010 (relocated to Newquay 2012)
