Kemble Battle Of Britain Airshow 19/09/2010

I have going through my old pictures and need some help with a few serial numbers. A hangar was open during this show which contained 2 Canberra aircraft plus a Vampire, Hunter, Meteor & Pitts Special. I wonder if anyone can provide serial numbers for any of these aircraft. Many thanks.

Can't help with the Pitts Special I'm afraid, but the other airframes were:

Canberras: XH134 & XH135
Jet Provosts: XJ771 & XW422
Meteor: WA591
Hunter: XL577

Hope this helps

'XJ771'/G-HELV was a Vampire T55, ex Swiss AF U-1215. XJ771 is a fictitious serial, the real XJ771 was scrapped at Hounslow many years ago.

It is now with the Royal Jordanian Historic Flight.
