The Kestrel, serial number XS695, is one of only nine built by Hawker-Siddeley. Its main role was to evaluate vertical take-off in near service conditions. Fitted with a single Bristol Siddeley Pegasus engine and single seat cockpit, the success of the Kestrel came little more than a year before its successor, the Harrier, made its first flight. The Harrier served successfully with the Royal Air Force until 2011.

WK935 is a much modified Gloster Meteor F8 fighter. The "prone position/prone pilot" Meteor was used to evaluate the effects of "g"-forces while flying in a prone position. Along with the Reid and Sigrist R.S.4 "Bobsleigh", the Gloster Meteor was engaged in a proof-of-concept experimental programme that proved in practice that the difficulties of operating the controls of the aircraft outweighed the advantages of sustaining higher g effects.

First of type on AC !
The Saunders-Roe SR.53 was a British prototype interceptor aircraft of mixed jet and rocket propulsion developed for the Royal Air Force by Saunders-Roe in the early 1950s. Although its performance was promising, the need for such an aircraft was soon overtaken by surface-to-air missile development and the project was cancelled after 56 test flights.
Two aircraft were built and flown; one was destroyed during flight testing in June 1958. XD145 is the first prototype and preserved in great condition at the Royal Air Force Museum Cosford.
