Does anyone know the identities of the aircraft used by the RAF Exhibition Flight during the 1950s? I’m specifically after the Meteors/Vampires they displayed.They also had a crude “aircraft simulator” made from a Meteor cockpit which I remember sitting in in 1953.
Cheers,

If anyone else is interested in their activities,they displayed Lancaster B3, PB135 and Vampire F1, VF281 at Newcastle in June 1949.

Cheers Mark,
Do you know when they first started showing these?
I saw them on display at Whitehall in September 1960 – will see if I can find the photos I took. They also showed Hurricane P2617 and a Mossy, Hunter, Gladiator,Cadet glider and Whirlwind that week,
