In the K-register, Hart Trainer K4757 of 7 FTS is shown as SOC 2.4.40. The cause was this forced landing at Keysoe, Beds on 7.3.40 when the pilot apparently forgot to switch on the main tank. Ron Clarke was in charge of the guard (and camera).

In AM.2/82 we covered the Lincoln and the photograph shows PW932 parked at the College of Aeronautics, Cranfield, where it had joined the College's collection of aircraft used as practical illustrations of the art of aircraft design. This piece of initiative was responsible for the preservation of several historic aircraft which now grace museums, including Yeovilton's FAA Corsair, an Me 163, the RAF Museum's Hoverfly and a Vickers flying bomb. But where did the last-mentioned go?

Halifax PN323 was delivered from the production line at the end of September 1945 but was retained by Handley Page. After ending its flying days, it was used for aerial tests at Radlett with a large single fin until 1961 when it was broken up, probably the last reasonably intact Halifax left in the UK.

One of No.295 Squadron's Stirling GT.IVs in the snow. LJ995 was coded 8Z-H and carries the name 'Bushwacker'. The artwork above the name is unclear but looks like Santa Claus with a top hat. There are also some emblems just aft of the nose transparency, presumably mission tallies. LJ995 hit trees on take-off from Rivenhall on 4 February 1945.
