From the Meteor to the Vulcan and Lightning there are a great many aircraft shown although each aircraft is only given a very short feature as the makers of the films try to include as many aircraft as possible.

Many of the aircraft in these films are experimental prototypes and it is interesting to see the development of some of these aircraft in later films such as the Vulcan and the disappearance of others which fall by the wayside such as the Westland Westminster, Fairy Ultralight and Bristol Brabazon.
