Boeing PT-17 Stearman Kaydet

I took this photograph at the Royal Air Forces Association's Woodford Air Show in June 1995, but the only mention of it in the brochure of the event is that a 'Steerman' would be part of the static display.
It's a Boeing Stearman Kaydet PT-17 N2S-3, an aircraft that was used as a military trainer, and this particular one was part of the US Army Air Force in the later stages of the Second World War. The Stearman Kaydet was powered by various different engines, and the PT-17 N2S-3 used the Continental R-670-4 engine.

BAe Avro RJ

 This is one of the aircraft I photographed at the Woodford Air Show in June 1994.
It's a BAe Avro RJ in the livery of Air Malta, and the brochure of the event says this about it:

'Another BAe product is the Avro International RJ Avroliner, a development of the BAe 146 with new engines, flight deck and cabin layouts. Built here at Woodford with recent deliveries to Turkey, China, the USA and Switzerland, its continuing success is attracting interest from the world's airlines.'

Royal Jordanian AIr Force Historic Flight

I took these photographs at the Royal Air Forces Association's Woodford Air Show in June 1995. They are two aircraft of the Royal Jordanian Air Force Historic Flight, a De Havilland Vampire and a Hawker Hunter.

De Havilland Vampire

The brochure of the event said this about the aircraft:

Representing Jordan we have aircraft from the Royal Jordanian Air Force Historic Flight which has only been formed since 1994, using aircraft of the types used in the past, such as the Hunter and Vampire. The flight now operates two Vampires, a single seat FB6 and a two seat T55 - both of which were previously operated by the Swiss Air Force. They are now painted in the camouflage of the period and the falcon markings of No.2 Squadron. The Hunter was on the British register as G-BOOM and is a two seat T7 variant. It carries the markings of one of the first Hunters to enter service with the RJAF in 1958, with No.1 Squadron based at Mafraq.
