Haha, my vote would be for the Mosquito, depending on the time of the conflict in which were discussing. After 1944 i would rather fly stirlings in the glider/target tug role, avoiding combat when possible, but any time before then it would have to be the mossie. Dont mean to sound like a coward, but if i had a family to go home to, i would be thinking more about seeing them again, instead of bombing the germans.

Somehow I think this vote will be just a little wieghted in the Mossies favour. I would want to be able to crank up those merlins and head for the hills if things got a bit too hot all the other listed aircraft are relitive sitting ducks to enemy fighter attack by comparison.

Of the aircraft up there the Mossie is deffinatly the best of the bunch, however I would take one of the big heavies. Theres just something glamourous about it, even though it is a death trap.

Guess my choice
2nd choice would be the Whitley, I don't know why but I've always liked it's looks.
If I wanted to get myself killed though, I'd jump into a Battle

I'm amazed no-one's gone for the Whitley, it was better than the Hampden and Wellington IMO

I cant remember If I voted in this poll or not, but I'd go with the Mossie. Runners up would be the Whitley and the Wellington.

I went with the Halifax because it could carry a good bomb load, pretty good range, and I like they way it looks with either the Merlin's or the Hercules engines.

I would chose the Wellington also. It was developed into more roles after it was phased out of front line service with bomber command than the Whitley. It was a transport, costal patrol, underwater mine destoryer, and used for radar training. It was probably used for even more than that but I can't think of any more.
