The Avro Anson was a military development of the Avro 652 6-seat commercial aircraft and the prototype made its maiden flight in march 1935. This aircraft was delivered for service on the 2nd January 1947 and retired in 1968. The Anson was purchased by the museum in 1974 and marked the first airframe purchased by the museum. It required a full rebuild before being able to be displayed.

The Colditz Cock, as it was named, was built in a concealed loft, the plan being to launch it from a rooftop wooden track with a weighted bathtub catapult arrangement. 55 years after the end of the war, Channel 4 Television commissioned the building of a replica for its television series "Escape from Colditz".

This is a mock up containing mostly original equipment to represent a night fighter / intruder variant of the Mosquito.

This full scale reconstruction represents the nose section of an Overstrand bomber complete with the worlds first power operated gun turret and the last Boulton and Paul aircraft to be manufactured in Norwich. This type entered service with the RAF in 1934. This replica was donated to the museum in 2015 by the Boulton and Paul Association.

In July 1945, TD248 joined 695 Squadron on anti-aircraft co-operation duties at Bircham Newton, Norfolk, moving to nearby Horsham St Faith in August 1945. Retired in May 1954 it was transferred to 610 Squadron RAuxAF at Hooton Park, Cheshire as a parade quardian. TD248 was one of five Spitfires released to Historic Flying Ltd. in 1988 by the MOD. TD248 was reskinned and rebuilt to full flying condition. The example at Flixton is the original skin and components of TD248 after it had been declared a, "non-effective airframe".
