More pictures taken at the National Museum of Flight, East Fortune Airfield, East Lothian, Scotland.
A Czech S-103:-
Lockheed Lightning. I forget which country’s livery this displays:-
The obligatory Spitfire:-
Messerschmidt Komet. This was a rocket propelled aeroplane as I recall:-
Vulcan Bomber:-
The images of two bombs/missiles under Argentine flags on the fuselage of the Vulcan signal the two raids made by this bomber on the Argentinian forces at Port Stanley in the Falkland Islands during the conflict in 1982. The flag of Brazil is because the Vulcan was forced to detour by engine trouble and land in Brazil after one of the raids.
Hawker Harrier:-
