5 Favourite Planes

[the lancaster kicks ass]

I can only come up with 4 favourite planes at the moment, here goes;

1) Avro 683 Lancaster
2) De Havilland DH.98 Mosquito
3) Glostor Meteor F.3
4) Hawker Hurricane Mk.II

I need to think about the 5th...............

 

[cheddar cheese]

my new list:

1. Messerschmit Bf-109
2. Piaggio P.108
3. Hawker Hurricane
4. Breda 88
5. Lockheed P-38 Lightning

 

[the lancaster kicks ass]

you mean you like the 109 more than the P.108??? why the sudden change...............

 

[cheddar cheese]

ive always loved the 109, it probably wont be there for long though 8)

 

[the lancaster kicks ass]

what, wil the 108 over take it, or annother plane?............

 

[cheddar cheese]

ill probably get bored of the 109 sooner or later 8)

 

[the lancaster kicks ass]

like you did with the P.108................

 

[brad]

spit should be at the top

 

[kiwimac]

Add Me 264 to my list!

spit should be at the top

no it shouldn't, as good as it was, it was often overrated and wasn't as good as the lancaster................

 

[brad]

true but it should be at the top of his list

 

[plan_D]

How can you compare a bomber to a fighter?

My list is: 1. Hurricane Mk. IV
2. Li-2
3. Spitfire Mk XIV
4. B-24
5. Me 262

 

[cheddar cheese]

true but it should be at the top of his list

no it shouldnt, i dont like the spit 8)

 

[brad]

spit rules

 

[cheddar cheese]

wish my mother agreed with that, she gets annoyed when i gob everywhere

How can you compare a bomber to a fighter?

quite easily, the lancaster was better as it had a bigger payload................

 

[cheddar cheese]

ah, but that makes the spit better as it was faster and had a higher ceiling 8) and it looked better, and i bet spitfires shot down more planes than lancasters

quite easily, the lancaster was better as it had a bigger payload................

I don't want to insult you, Lanc, but I can't immagine a bomber trying to evade a squadron of Messerschmitt Bf-109 or Focke-Wulf FW-190.

What would do a bomber against those planes without a fighter squadron to take on the enemy fighters ?

Here are my choices:

1. Spitfire Mk. IX (I know what you'll say: "Why the Mk. IX instead of the Mk. XIV ?" Well, I don't know. I love it, that's all. 8) )
2. Spitfire Mk. XIV
3. Hurricane (Any Mark.)
4. Mustang III
5. Tempest V

 

[plan_D]

Yes, that is what I say...still good list.

The Spitfire could do more of a variety of jobs than the Lancaster as well. It's stupid comparing anyway.

 

[cheddar cheese]

yes, the tempest would make a good escort 8) would probably be the most likely of those to be used as an escort and the spits and hurricanes didnt have to rage to get to berlin back 8)
