Amodel Antonov An-22

The english electric lightning is a firm favourite of mine, when ever we
take the caravan to edinburgh we get the bus into the city, as the caravan
site is on a bus route and you can get a bus right at the gates, we got a
bus one time which took us near the Gyle, and Ferranti have lightning on
display outside on the grass, in a dramatic pose, i allways thought these
were small, but when youre up next to one, theyre alot bigger than once
thought, besides i've done alot of reading about this plane. I still wouldnt
put down the Hunter though, another quality british aircraft, aswell as the
victor, and the vulcan and TSR2 and... i could go on endlessly!

Then explain the Mosquito!

I guess when you're doing below-rooftop height down some European
street,
you've got to look the business! - or you may as well be farting
around
at
a
much higher alt.

Those invasion go-faster-stripes added streetwise style - just ask the
boy
racers in their Novas!



To me, you cant beat the beauty of the Hawker Hunter

I see a couple (non flying) everyday, and they still look great

Probably the most beautiful jet ever built. It's so Freudian...looks like
sex and death!

of the Hunters

Have you ever been to RAF Cosford?
They have the original P1B, and lots of other interesting protos.
I'd recomend it!

Anything that can break mach 1 vertically is good for me.

We won't even go into the pros and cons of the Lancaster. Suffice to say
that by the end of the war, it was carrying twice its original designed
bomb-load and doing it well enough for it to still be effective in its
assigned tasks.

I think the average load was twice that of the B17!
