Short Singapore
DH4
DH50A
Fairey IIIF
Fairey Gordon
Blackburn Baffin
Vickers Vincent

Short Stirling

All of the above:cool:

Martin Baker MB-5 anyone…… (and not the truncated beastie in the States).

OK, can’t ignore this one.

Blackburn Skua
Blackburn Roc
Fairey Barracuda
Blackburn Dart*
Sopwith Cuckoo*
Blackburn Shark*
Blackburn Firebrand
Westland Wyvern S.4**
DH Sea Hornet
Avro Bison

*Not 100% sure these no longer exist, but I sincerely doubt they do
**There is an extant Wyvern, but it is the TF1 model, rather different to the one that entered service

You mayhave noticed that these are all British naval types, and it’s shameful that so many don’t exist any more. I’m not counting the Skua in the fjord as ‘extant’ but will happily do so when it is raised and I can visit it. The last is just to show the ridiculous machinery the FAA was saddled with between the wars and as arguably the ugliest aircraft ever.

and now for something big h6k5 emily(need a big lake:D )
damn i didnt think this was for museum’s i thought they were for me:diablo:
flyers or nothing(still need a really big lake:eek: )

Well said Moggy. That’s why I limited myself to one. To get an airworthy Do335 would probably use up the whole £150 million and more.

The aim was see what types or marks that are no longer extant you would love to be able to see displayed in a museum.

The answer is ‘NONE’

Sorry, it’s my lottery win and not a penny of it is going towards large dust gathering devices to moulder away quietly in a museum.

It’s flyers or nothing for me.

Moggy

I’m new to the forums but I thought this is a good place to start lol 😀

Avro Lincoln (For the simple reason I’m from the Lincoln they were named after lol but also as I’ve heard they were superior to the Lancaster),

Vickers Valient,

Junkers Ju 87,

Handley Page Hampden,

Ader Avion III (I’d just like to know if it could fly lol),

Vickers Wellington,

Bristol Beaufighter,

Dornier Do X,

Gloster E.28/39,

Fairey Delta 2 (There was (I assume it’s still there) one at the RAF Museum Cosford and it’s such an interesting looking aircraft and I had no idea what it was, I’d never heard of it before).

RESSURECTION WISH LIST

Brilliant choices so far,but to clarify a little,they don’t need to be flyers-statics will do.The aim was see what types or marks that are no longer extant you would love to be able to see displayed in a museum.

I know the best place to see them is in the air where they belong but a static will stilldo nicely

thanks for all your lists-keep ’em coming.:D

Can somebody vote for the Fairey Battle please?

I have suddenly realised that one would make a fitting tribute to the poor guys who went to war so hopelessly in France 1940 with totally inadequate equipment.

Moggy

DH.91 Albatross

Probably the most perfect looking plane I’ve ever/never, seen.

Slightly confused because some posts seem to include types that are still extant. If the question is types that are no longer with us, my ten are:

Handley-Page HP42
Fokker DR1 (don’t think that any of the replicas are correctly engined)
Nieuport 17
DH Hornet
Albatros DIII
Handley-Page O/400
Short Stirling
Felixstowe F2A
Dornier Do 217
Sopwith Tabloid

Fairey Flycatcher would have been on the list but we already have a replica.

If we are talking about flying aircraft, my ten would be:

Hawker Typhoon (pair of)
DH Mosquito
English Electric Lightning (in UK)
Sopwith Snipe
Fairey Flycatcher
Handley-Page HP42
Bristol Bulldog
Short Sunderland
DH Hornet
Handley Page Halifax

Mosquito
Wellington
Halifax
Whirlwind
Beaufighter
Do17
Ju87
Ju88
Me110
Whitley

My list is based on historical significance so some neat aircraft but were non-starters aren’t included….with the exception on the Arrow because of its unique configuration and the B-42 as the first US jet bomber and its configuration.

UK military:
Mosquito
Stirling

UK civil:
DH Comet (the jet–orig. short fuselage)
Brabazon

German military:
Do335
Me 163

German civil
FW200
Hindenberg

US Military
Keystone or Martin bomber
B-36, (and a B-42 or B-45)

US civil
Boeing 314
Lockheed Vega
And let’s keep currently fying aircraft airworthy….a Connie, 707, the Vimy replica, assorted helicopters, the Lancs, Fortresses, and Liberators….and with an eye towards the not too distant future: a B-52, KC-135, VC-10,

Only 1 really for me and that would have to be the
DH, Mosquito
