A Hawker Hunter Aircraft on display at Tangmere Military Aviation Museum is marking 75 years since its first flight.
Test pilot Neville Duke flew the British jet for the first time in July 1951.
Two years later, he took off from Tangmere Airfield and set a world air-speed record of more than 727 miles per hour, having been specially modified.
The jet reached a speed of more than 727 miles per hour, cementing both the aircraft and Tangmere’s place in aviation history.
The Hawker Hunter went on to become one of Britain’s best-known military aircraft and was used by the Royal Air Force and air forces around the world.
Meanwhile, the museum has warned residents living around the former airfield that two military jets are expected to fly over the area at around 2.20pm today.
In a message posted on social media, the museum said the aircraft would be “quite low and loud” and urged people to make vulnerable residents and those who may be sensitive to sudden noise aware of the planned flypast.
