[the lancaster kicks ass]

[cheddar cheese]

Not too bad...

 

[Gnomey]

I agree CC, not to bad but there are better.

 

[the lancaster kicks ass]

from the second picture it does resemble a spitfire........

 

[cheddar cheese]

It does, and thats why im not too bowled over by it. Looks too dull...

after readin and re-reading the text from W. Reschke to me I have to say that it must be the Ta 152H. Reschke hit over 750km in the bird in 45

[loomaluftwaffe]

[FLYBOYJ]

Great shots Will, that's one of my favorite planes.

I'm sorry but a pencil with engines.
The cockpit looks to...
... bulbous for the skinny fuselage
Give me a sec and i will show you a thing of beauty

Yeah the engines stand out way to much on the plane. It looks like something that was scrapped together in a real haste. =) But it's still rather neat looking tough.​

 

[Erich]

reminds me of a Me 262 with props, copycat

 

[hole in the ground]

or even a glider with engines
like the U2

Napier Heston Racer

Project Napier Heston

Dh 88 Comet
only three ever built (not including replicas) still has had a failry large impact on aviation. Can anyone spot the family resemblances to other Dhs?

 

[Monique]

:O Ooh, pretty plane. It's design is very curved and sleek; not alot of sharp edges to it. =) The colours of it make it look even nicer.​

 

[Erich]

still looks like a Me 262 wannabe

 

[hole in the ground]

from 1934?
impressive

Nice pics of the Comet.
