A visit here. Manston RAF History Museum in Kent.

I think this is a Buccaneer XV 352. Correct?

I wish I could state the names of them - but I can't remember them! Sad

Is this one a predecesor of the Sea King?

Can't remember this either! Shocked

It'll click when someone says it though.

A chipmunk?

The XL 190 - just the nose.

and it's rather sad cockpit. Lips Sealed

How long have you been lurking here and you still don't know a Chippie? Roll Eyes

There are two types of aeroplane, Spitfires and everything else that wishes it was a Spitfire!

I'm not a bright spark whwen it comes to identification of aircraft. I mean they all have wings and wheels. Wink

But the differences are ever so slight on so many that I would really need to knuckle down to studying the differences.
