Other Aircraft
Other (Southend) Historical Aircraft Museum aircraft from 1967 to 1983
On this page you will find a list of most of the smaller or less significant aircraft that were either permanent residents, stored, undergoing restoration or were simply put on display in the museum during the winter months when they were not being flown. Where possible, pictures and a small amount of relevant information about the airframes will be provided and in some rare cases, dates have been given too although these may be approximate. Please note that the names below only denote the owner at the time that these aircraft were resident at the museum and that now in probably all cases, those aircraft that survive to this day have moved on to pastures new.

Initially owned by the S.H.A.M. as G-ANZJ from c.May 1967.

Displayed with the S.H.A.M. as ‘NP339‘ from May 1967. However, after moving to the Aviation Way site the aircraft was found to have extensive glue rot and was eventually cut in two. The wings were later donated to ‘NP303‘ above while the rear empennage was also retained and in the museum’s early years, used as a travelling exhibit before finally being placed alongside Dragon G-ACIT. The forward section of this aircraft was subsequently burnt at the same time as the wrecked Hawk Trainer G-AIDF.

Aircraft with British Military Serials
TB863

This Spitfire was later stored in the back garden of his house on the corner of Oaken Grange Drive and Hampton Gardens in Southend before finally moving to the museum where a good deal of restoration work was carried out, although this was never fully completed. Bill also owned numerous other Spitfire parts such as wings and fuselages which were for a time stored behind Ladi Marmol’s hangar next to the railway line – TB863 now resides in Temora, Australia.
