Another very useful type which lasted long after WW2 was the B-25 Mitchell. This is a TB-25N presented as TB-25J '34057', she was originally USAAF 44-29366. She has also starred in two major films!

The P-47D was known to the RAF as a Thunderbolt II. The Thunderbolt replaced the Hawker Hurricanes operating over Burma, this was the only theatre in which the Thunderbolt was operated by the RAF. This aircraft is in reality USAAF 45-49295.

The B-17 Fortress was operated under evaluation conditions by the Royal Air Force in 1940 and a great deal was learned from this exercise, the B-17G was the eventual result of this experience. Interestingly, she was originally operated by the U.S.Navy.

A significant type for both the USAAF and the RAF was the Sikorsky R-4B or Hoverfly I, the first practical helicopter to be developed by the Americans and saw active use in the last months of WW2 in the Pacific theatre.

A type I have always had a soft spot for, the Lockheed Hudson, this being a Hudson IIIA. The Hudson was a military derivative of the famous Lockheed 14 Super Electra airliner. Marked as genuine RAAF A16-199, was good to see an Aussie in Hendon :-)

Another classic, this time from the Curtiss stable. She represents Kittyhawk IV (which is a P-40N) serial FX760. I never could get my head around the difference between a Warhawk, Tomahawk and a Kittyhawk!

Phantom FGR.2 serial XV424 in No. 56 Squadron 'Firebirds' markings, she was powered by a pair of Rolls Royce Spey turbofans and as the F-4M was initially reluctantly accepted by the Royal Air Force. Now *much* missed!
