A visit here. Manston RAF History Museum in Kent.

I think this is a Buccaneer XV 352.  Correct?

Image

I wish I could state the names of them - but I can't remember them! :( Is this one a predecesor of the Sea King?

Image

Can't remember this either! :o It'll click when someone says it though.

Image

A chipmunk?
Image

The XL 190 - just the nose.

and it's rather sad cockpit. :-X

Nice. The one's you were struggling with were a Wessex and a Meteor NF. 11 if I'm not mistaken...

I'm not a bright spark whwen it comes to identification of aircraft. I mean they all have wings and wheels. ;) But the differences are ever so slight on so many that I would really need to knuckle down to studying the differences.
