The real W4041 is on display at the Science Museum, London. On 15 May 1941, the Gloster E.28/39 W4041/G first flew from RAF Cranwell, piloted by Philip E. G. ‘Jerry’ Sayer. In front is a RB.23 Welland, the first British production jet engine.
WH364 is in the markings of S/L Christopher C. McCarthy-Jones, CO of No.601 (County of London) Squadron as based at RAF North Weald. At least two of the squadron’s Meteor F.8s, WL167 and WK722, carried these markings.
This Gamecock I replica wears the colours of S/L Arthur F. Brooke, the highly respected and inspirational CO of No.43 Squadron, RAF Henlow. His aircraft also had a white/black chequered spine. The squadron flew Gamecocks from April 1926 until June 1928.
XM569's cockpit is reasonably complete, with only the altimeter (behind left stick) and the stand-by artificial horizon missing. After years at the Wales Aircraft Museum, the B.2 was scrapped, with the cockpit section surviving here at the Jet Age Museum.
The original E28/39 is in the Science Museum. This replica is in the Jet Age Museum at Staverton. The '/G' at the serial is not a code, but an indication this aircraft had to be guarded at all times.
This cockpit section is all that remains of Meteor F.3 EE425, the oldest surviving Meteor to have seen squadron service with the RAF, having served with No. 1, 63, 222 and 266 Squadrons between 1945 and 1948. Seen here in the excellent Jet Age Museum.
XH903/G Gloster Javelin FAW.9, Royal Air Force. Seen here outside the aviator restaurant at Staverton airport near Cheltenham, in the markings of 33 Squadron, this jet used to be the gate guard at RAF Innsworth, now, inside the new Jet Age Museum
