Hawker Tempest TT.5 This aircraft shows its last role in RAF service - that of a target tug - which was undertaken by one of the most potent Allied fighters of WW2. The Hawker Tempest was a superb aircraft, designed by Sir Sydney Camm, and a direct development of the Hawker Typhoon. A Napier Sabre H-bored sleeve-valve engine provided more than 2,000hp. However, dressed in black and yellow undersides, a more mundane task awaited it in the post-War world. This is owned by the RAF Museum, but has since been moved.

This Westland Lysander is shown a typical Army Co-operation/Air Sea Rescue colour scheme. A successful STOL aircraft it first flew in 1936. Its most significant role, however, was as a covert liaison aircraft, delivering and picking up SOE agents and those fleeing the Gestapo from small fields in Occupied Europe, at night. It has known to carry three - in an emergency four - 'Joes' or passengers in the rear cockpit. This example is owned by the RAF Museum, and has been removed from the London site for restoration. ,

Used by Saudi Arabia as well as the Royal Air Force, it was immensely popular with its pilots. This example - of a Lightning F.6 the last Mark used by the - is seen at the RAF Museum, .

The Airco DH.9 (designed by Geoffrey de Havilland) was a basically good design, spoilt by a poor engine. When the American V-12 Liberty was fitted towards the end of WW1, it transformed the , and it served into the 1920s.
