Any 5?

These would all live in a big hanger in my back garden at RAF Upwood………think i should have a few bloodhound missiles too!

I was actually offered one of those (Mk 2) for £500 (on a Launcher as well) if a museum didn’t take the offer of one at a station being drawndown. Needless to say the musem did take the offer.

Buccaneer.
Sea Vixen.
Canberra.
Phantom.
Draken.

SR-71, de Havilland Comet racer and Hornet, Spitfire 1 or 21, and and an FW-190D please!

Hmmm.. all the lists look rather similar to my eyes…. Right, well here is my list, with its own less-than-usual orientation:

Yakovlev Yak-7B (my own favourite)

Lavochkin La-5

Ilyushin Il-2 (two-seat model would be greatly preferred)

Nakajima Ki-27

Petlyakov Pe-2 (any version, really)

so many planes to choose from , top 5 ,

P 38 Lightning
Corsair
Hawker Typhoon
EE Lightning
F14 Tomcat

spike

Here are mine:-

Gloster Meteor T7 ( Got one, WA591 :diablo: )
DHC1 Chipmunk ( nearly had one 🙁 )
A.W Albamarle
Piston Provost
Sea Fury

For my favourite 5

Buccaneer s2
Valiant B2 (only one built was used as target practice)
EE Lightning
Hunter (as long as its single seat) I suppose the Black Arrows are out of the question
Mosquito (lovely aircraft)

I`m well aware that seeing some of these fly again is slim to zero, but we can all dream.

I love this thread 🙂
1. Spitfire Mk 1 (with Rotol and 12lbs boost capable) with Eric Lock markings
2. Spitfire Mk LF Vb with Lance Wade markings. (but leave off the Volkes filter plz.)
3. Bf-109F4 with JG27 Shultz markings. (the Spits need something to toy with) :diablo:
4. DH Hornet (lovely)
5. F.1 Vampire (with a modern jet engine thanks)
No Yank hardware… Well, if there was a 6th I’d want a Bearcat.
Anyway, whomever is taking the orders, please deliver the above to Ann Arbor Airport in Michigan, last hanger on the east end of the field. Just leave the keys in the box.
THANKS.

Uh, not to be greedy, but if someone is handing out planes here I am going to need another 5.

1. Supermarine S.4 mid-wing fillets are wonderful

2. Napier-Heston Type 5 Monoplane

3. Arsenal VG 33

4. Fairy Delta FD2 (my uncle designed the airframe)

5. and that Bearcat (Rarebear to be specific)

Thanks again. Please hurry it along as I am still waiting on the first 5.

Spit. Any mark. Poetry in motion, beauty of form.
Lanc for its historical provenance and engine music.
Shack for that growl and atmosphere.” Rolls Royce engines and leather seats” as one Shack jock once said.
DC3 as historical benchmark.
Gipsy Moth for open air fun.

Spit Mk.1 (beautiful)
F-4J Phantom (all tooled up)
F-14 Tomcat (chunky)
Mosquito B.35 (beautiful and chunky)
de-H Rapide (beautiful)

Heinkel HE 162 (something about that engine)

FW 200 Condor
Hurricane (earlier the better)

nuts run out of space

If I continued I would include:

Hawker Hunter (for the thrill factor)
DE Vampire (for the seat of your pants factor)

As regards number 5. You could but at the speeds she was capable of I’m not sure you would want to, definitely give a bad hair day if nothing else.:D

As I recall it was very pleasant up to c.300kts as long as you only had it open about half way. There was probably a limiting speed but fading memory prevents it surfacing.

Wow! Nobody has offered the Gnat – the closest thing to being at one with a machine. It goes firmly at the top of my list:

1. Gnat – simply stunning
2. Lightning F1A as operated by the TFFs – surely the hottest variant.
3. MB5 – just to see if it really was as good as its reputation
4. P47D – speed, range and comfort.
5. And last but not least – the Hunter F6 complete with its chaotic switchery (and also because you can fly it with the canopy open!)

Right let’s have a think:
Bv 141
Bv138
Do 335
Fw 189
Me/Bf110
Fiat CR 32
Curtiss Ascender (not sure of the type designation)
He51
Oh sorry, you only wanted 5 didn’t you but I think I’ve proved my point.
Oh, let’s add the Il 2/10 just for good measure. Giving it a little more thought I’m sure I could extend my wish list even further.

Gannet T.5
Sea Hawk
Brigand
Lightning F.2A
P-5M Marlin
