I wanted to give you a "like" but I hate seeing airplanes damaged.
I was always fond of the Kingfisher.

I was leery of the 100lb bomb holding the wing up!

Delivered too late to take part in WW2, this Australian Beaufighter Mk.21 (A8-328) finished its RAAF career as a target tug in 1956. Disposed, it ended up as an outdoors attraction at the playground of the Lord Mayor of Melbourne's Children's Camp in Portsea, Victoria until 1962. By then a sad badly deteriorated derelict, A8-328 was saved by the Australian Aircraft Restoration Group and gorgeously restored. It now resides at the Australian National Aviation Museum, Moorabbin Airport, Victoria.
