SPEND spend spend

if you could not get a B-58 flying again, i would “with my millions” make one from scratch.. get some ex-Convair workers, then use some parts from some scrapped B-2s “best place for them”. then the yanks would have a decent bomber again… 😉 😀

think of the future and your kids and grandkids future

Ahhh but i am ,aiding aged aircraft back into the air,collecting old air frames for them to polish when i’m gone and watching dad fritter away millions on TAT and loose women would be character building 😀 😀

Yes but you can invest and still make lotsa money and do the thing you want to do….think of the future and your kids and grandkids future

I think it is taken as read that the money will be invested. The plans outlined above would hardly make a dent in the £120 million it reaches this Friday after another rollover this week.

And some of us don’t have and won’t have kids (or hence) grandkids.

Try to get a B-58 flying again (don’t even know if that would be feasible anymore even if money weren’t an object).

Build some seriously high-powered rockets.

Start a design studio.

You can’t take it with you, Steve. 😉

You’d all be broke before you could blink….”INVESTMENT” lads….money makes money!!

for some reason i have the urge to buy the biggest blimp i can and tour the world, traveling and dropping handfuls of goodies to passers by.

i would buy a nice house with a bit of land, collect vintage and classic tractors, tour Russia and bring home a Tu-128 and a Tu-22, buy a Sea Vixen, Buccaneer, Lightning, go to America and bring home a F-105, F-106, F-89. then i would tour the world, try and visit as many countries i can, learn to fly, try to get some if not all the aircraft i own airworthy then fly them at airshows..

I’d bank the lot and continue in my current job. For as we all know “winning the lottery will not change my life”…..;-)

If I won all that money, this is how I would spend it.

1. Learn to fly.

2. Buy a light aircraft, and a private HS125 jet.

3. Spend a couple of years in the USA, touring all US Air Bases, and watching the Air shows. Then Canada, Europe etc. Take a couple of Birds with me, the Wife wont know. 😀 😀 :diablo: :diablo:

4. Then tour UFO hot spots in the USA, and hope to see one or two UFOs.

5. Then spend a few years touring the most haunted houses in the USA, and spending nights in them, with company of course. 😀 😀 :diablo: :diablo:

6. Then tour all Astronomical sites, hoping to get a chance to see deep space through a huge Telescope.

7. If all this can be achieved in my remaining years on this Planet, then I will have done well.

Don’t worry about the Wife, I will sell her to the highest bidder. 😀

See, money can bring out the selfishness in me, I think I will stick to the simple things in life.

I will driwe the 56km to this bar and show its smart-ass door man my ID and how I am bloody 22 yers old and then turn back and return whitout even stepping inside the pub… 😡 😡 Perhaps to do the traveling with helicopter….

All the usual stuff. Modest house – ther’s only two of us after all, a coulpe of aircraft to fly, a Porsche 911.

The rest? Well travel is high on the list – you can only drive one car, fly one aircraft, wear one suit. But travel is winning experience, and experience is rich.

Then, my pet project would be to employ a person to monitor all the local newspapers. Whenever one of those ‘pensioner robbed of £2,000 life savings’ stories came up I’d have it checked out, zoom over and personally replace that money, plus a bit.

The gratitude, and the restoration of faith that not everybody in the world is evil, would be repayment 1,000 times over.

Get myself a massive house with indoor and outdoor swiming pools.

Get a nice car, nice holiday etc.

Give loads to family, m8s and charity.

Spend the rest on a collection of classic jets and learn to fly them, it would be nice to get some of the Mig15’s that are stored in Albania.

Strippers and sluts! 😀

Nah, only kidding.

£120m? Well, for a start, get a small collection of warbirds (Spit, Me109, Mustang, Hurricane) and get them on the display circuit.

Nice house for me, one for my mum and stepdad, and one for the grandparents. Have some stables and a few horses – buy a few friends the horses they wanted, too. Maybe invest in some racehorses, too.

Couple of cars – not these bloody things that every footballer and celebrity seems to have (can’t think of their names – I’m not a car person!) but something classic.

Give a mill to several warbird concerns (Sally B, Grace Spit etc) to keep them going for a bit.

Not sure what else I would do!

As for the downside, well as you say you’d get all sorts of psychos trying to get a few bob out of you!
