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!

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.

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

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.

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...

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.

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

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.

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

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.
