Built as an F.8 in 1952 and was transferred to the Royal Australian Air Force in February 1953 with the serial A77-876. In October 1960, converted to a U.21A variant, an unmanned target drone for use at the Weapons Research Establishment at Woomera, South Australia. Returned to the UK in 1969 and was redesignated as a U.16. She was later converted to a D.16, tasked with chasing drones rather than being one. Based at RAE Llanbedr but last flight 11th October 2004 to Boscombe Down and joined BDAC in 2008.

First flown in 1966, XR770 appeared at that year's Farnborough SBAC display in Saudi markings with a wide array of weaponry. Entering service with 74 Sqdn after that, she finished her career with 5 Sqdn at RAF Binbrook. After a period preserved at RAF Waddington, it was moved to the Manston museum in March 2015.

Victory Aircraft manufactured 430 Lancaster Xs at their Malton, ON plant, FM136 emerging in 1945. Sent to 32 MU St Athan in May 1945, it was too late to be issued to an active squadron and returned to the Pearce, AB depot in Canada. Eventually converted to Maritime Reconnaissance configuration, it was flown by 404 'Buffalo' (Maritime Patrol) Sqdn at Greenwood, Nova Scotia and later 407 'Demon' (MP) Squadron at Comox, BC carrying squadron markings RX-136 until struck off in April 1961. FM136 spent the next 30 years displayed on a pedestal at Calgary airport before joining the museum in 1992.
