Favorite 5 Aircraft- All Eras Allowed.

[Lightning Guy]

The security of the radio room was part of it. It was in the center of the aircraft and located between two sturdy bulkheads. Of course, there is also the fact that there was nowhere forward of this point with enough room to group 8 men together. The only possible exception would be the nose and you certainly don't want to be THERE during a belly landing!

 

[the lancaster kicks ass]

1. Hawker Hurricane Mk I - Just something about it, can't put my finger on it...

2. Hawker Typhoon - Yep, I know another Hawker. Think it's just the sheer raw power involved, both in weapons and propulsion.

3. CAC Boomerang CA-13 - Love the design

4. BAC English Electric Lightning - My favourite ever aircraft, so sleek.

5. De Haviland Mosquito - Esp the Mk VI.

very very nice list.............

and i don't say that to many people..................

 

[cheddar cheese]

Youre only saying that because 80% of the planes are British...

[the lancaster kicks ass]

no i just love the aircraft he's listed, well 80% of them anyway.............

 

[cheddar cheese]

Yeah the British ones

My favourite of those is most probably the Boomerang

 

[the lancaster kicks ass]

there's always one.............

 

[cheddar cheese]

Well there has to be

 

[Lightning Guy]

If he had placed the Lancaster in there instead of the Boomerang Lanc would have been in love . . .

 

[Napier Sabre]

Lucky I didn't then int it.

Had to have a token non-British plane in there.

 

[the lancaster kicks ass]

why?? i don't.............

although i was slightly dissapointed at the lack of lancaster in your list.........

 

[Napier Sabre]

Joking, wasn't token.

Lanc came close, but have to say of the big bombers, the halifax was my favourite. Having said that though, I'm not a big bomber person really.

 

[plan_D]

You're not a Big Bomber person? Is that you're a small bomber person, or you don't go around bombing people?

Oh, that's right...I went there...

 

[the lancaster kicks ass]

alas there are few "bomber people" on the site, i considder myself one of them, but there's not many...........

 

[Lightning Guy]

I just don't think a bomber (at least not a heavy) could be nearly as much fun to fly as a fighter or attack bomber.

 

[the lancaster kicks ass]

well i'd much rather fly an EE lightening to the lanc but the lanc's still my favourite aircraft.............

 

[mosquitoman]

I'm a bomber and coastal command person, but the plane I'd want to fly is a Tempest

 

[Napier Sabre]

Tempests look great too, have to say I like Hawker aircraft (not that that wasn't obvious). What I mean by not a big bomber person is that I do quite like a number of two-engined bombers, but I don't find four-engined aircraft as attractive to the eye.

 

[DaveB.inVa]

I'm a bomber person and I'd rather be in one over most fighters any day.

 

[Lightning Guy]

IMO the Tempest didn't become a great looking aircraft until it was fitted with a radial engine. I never liked the big chin radiator on it and the Typhoon.
