Messerschmitt Bf 109E

Aircraft & Exhibits, 1940-1943, London, Hangar Three/Four, 78/A/624

The Messerschmitt Bf 109 was the Luftwaffe's principal fighter aircraft during the Battle of Britain. It could outclimb and outgun the RAF's Hurricanes and Spitfires. However, its limited range allowed pilots only 20 minutes flying time during raids over south-east England.

Westland Wessex HC.4 XV732

Aircraft & Exhibits, 1969-1998, London, Hangar Three/Four, X002-9905

From nearly 30 years, two specially modified Westland Wessex helicopters transported members of the Royal Family and other dignitaries on public duties across the UK and Europe. Designated HCC4, they were identical to the Wessex HC Mk.2 in military use, except for the special VIP interior furnishings, an external folding step below cabin door, and additional navigation aides including a Decca rolling map.
