Percival E.2H Mew Gull G-AEXF (c/n E.22) flown solo by Alex Henshaw from Gravesend to Capetown and return via the Sahara, in a record-breaking, and still unbeaten, elapsed time of 4 days 10 hours 20 minutes-time airborne 39hr 36 min-the longest-standing long distance flying record of all time. Having flown the 1936-built aircraft since May 1937, and winning the King’s Cup Air Race at Hatfield in July 1938 (speed 236.25mph), he sold the aircraft to a French owner in July 1939.
There is an excellent replica of this aircraft in the RAF Museum, Hendon.

This Hawker Hind was delivered new to the Royal Afghan Air Force in 1938 and continued in use until the 1950s. It was presented to the Shuttleworth Collection and was collected with the help of the Ford Motor Company in 1970. The journey of 6000 miles from Kabul to Old Warden took four weeks and the team had to endure many trials before the Hind was safely in the restoration hangar. The Hind was restored, and flew again on 17 August 1981, resplendent in Afghan Air Force Markings. The Hind was repainted in 1985 to represent K5414 of 15 Squadron, Royal Air Force.

Demon G-BTVE took to the air after an 18 year restoration on 23rd June 2009. Painted in the colours of 64 Squadron RAF and with her original serial number K8203, the Demon is the sole remaining flying example of this important interwar type. One of a batch of 37 built by Boulton Paul Aircraft in 1937, K8203 was originally assigned to 64 Squadron at Church Fenton before passing to No. 9 Maintenance Unit at RAF Cosford and then to No. 9 Air Observers School (later renamed No. 9 Bombing & Gunnery School) at RAF Penrhos.

Built in 1932, G-ACTF was the 9th of 42 Swifts to be built. It was originally registered to Alban Ali as VT-ADO 'The Scarlet Angel' and spent the first part of its life in India. Sold to George Errington who rebuilt it and re-registered the aircraft as G-ACTF on May 24 1934. Purchased by the Shuttleworth Collection in August 1996. During 1998 it was overhauled and restored to its original factory condition and paint scheme. However engine problems have kept it away from the display scene since then, but it should fly again soon.
