PAUL ! Great find

, I counted 98 photo's ive seen (four repeats) , published in books here but so many to be listed , someone could publish a book on the share content ,require a little research on the unit s .. all be simple .. Just Brilliant

Great link.

I could identify most but I was surprised to see a Hawker Hart in colour.

I have seen that photo before, it took me a while to remember the Baltimore and some of the smaller aircraft still have me stumped.

My fave would have to be the Sterling's one particular , the all metal transport

Splendid find!

Love those posed "Album" shots, they are a real reflection of the time:
Just sit 'ere on the wing, love, hold the belt so, we'll call it "Loading the machine gun"

But the candid snaps are amazing, I thought I knew the RAF birds but there are a few, well, just no idea.

Who knows what this thing is, and what sticks out of it??

There we go Charl , thats your Miles Martinet , that is the target towing variant , course designed as an advanced trainer .

Miles Martinet

Well who'd a thunk!
One mark, Wing Commander...

Now I know the Sabre engine on the Typhoon was iffy, but what have they grafted on here??

Looks like a wannabe Fury...

Mention to many the JU88 of BoB was inline engine or even the later HE219 .. even the TA152 , they tested the same concept wit the Napier even with a ducted spinner , next time your in CHCH Charl , we will rip into the Wiggy Museum , you would be impressed with the engineering of the ole Napier .. course then went radial with the Fury .

To me that looks like a prototype Hawker Tempest Mk.II with the Bristol Centaurus Engine.
