This aircraft is in the Battle of Britain Hall of the RAF Museum. It is very dimly lit to prevent the aircraft paint fading. Much of the lighting is being replaced with energy efficient LED lights which create this eerie effect, somehow appropriate for this gem of a night-fighter aircraft. Canon 40D, 17-40 lens, 30 sec f8

German AF 2219 built 1942 and coded KI-GX, later recoded 3 black. On a mission on 05-Oct-1943 from Petsamo in the Soviet Union it was running into heavy snowstorms and ran out of fuel. The pilot bailed out and the aircraft hit the ground west of Kongsfjord in Norway. In 1986 the wreck was recovered from the crash site and restored for display at the Norsk Luftfartsmuseum in Bodø. It carries the 14/JG5 badge

Actually a German production aircraft, 4105, this Alpha Jet is painted as the first prototype which, while French, wore German markings on the starboard side. It did have a pointed nose rather than the rounded nose with anti-spin strakes fitted to the French series aircraft.

One of the real stars of the superb Museum of Flight. The Komet was a rocket powered interceptor aircraft with a performance far better than any allied aircraft of the time though it was hampered by a very short flight time. It entered service in May 1944. The wheeeled undercarriage dropped away on take-off with the aircraft landing on a skid in a similar way to that which most gliders do.

German AF 2219 built 1942 and coded KI-GX, later recoded 3 black. On a mission on 05-Oct-1943 from Petsamo in the Soviet Union it was running into heavy snowstorms and ran out of fuel. The pilot bailed out and the aircraft hit the ground west of Kongsfjord in Norway. In 1986 the wreck was recovered from the crash site and restored for display at the Norsk Luftfartsmuseum in Bodø. It carries the 14/JG5 badge

Perhaps I am perverse, but amongst the beautifully restored exhibits in the marvellous Technical Museum, this one was my favourite. Belonging to the St G.5 Squadron on the Northern front this aircraft crashed in Norway on 2nd July, 1942. The wreck was found in 1994 and acquired by the museum in 1997. It's preservation in this condition seems more poignant than if it was restored. Magnificent !

A Romanian Ju88 in which a young pilot defected to Cyprus in 7.43, being intercepted by four Hurricanes over Limassol. Given RAF serial HK959 and flown to Alexandria then handed over to the USAAF and ferried by air via Acension to Wright Field in 10.43. Placed on display in Luftwaffe colours, which were later changed to those shown here, before being restored to Romanian AF livery; now inside the USAFM

Although flown by the 58th TTW in full USAF markings, the Starfighters at Luke were German-owned and used to train pilots without the weather and airspace constraints of Europe. They even had WGAF serials allocated, this one being 27+64. This one is unusual in that it was painted grey - most were natural metal like the one next up the serial range parked behind

To reduce reliance on runways, a Zero-Length Launch (ZELL) system was conceived to blast F-104s into the sky from trucks with booster rockets. Apparently this worked well but was prohibitively expensive. This F-104G was built by Lockheed in 1960. It carried out eight ZELL take-offs at Edwards AFB in 1963, coded DA-102, and seven more at Lechfeld in 1966.
