I've won the lottery

Hi Everyone!:)
Well I would go for two DH types – if only allowed the two –
1. DH Mosquito.
2.DH Sea Vixen.

I just want a Blackbird

I’ll go halves with you on that one.

I just want a Blackbird

Beardmore Inflexible :p

and a Brabazon

mmmm, 200mil eh :D,

oh and Stavertons Canberra Would be restored to fly ,You’d like that wouldnt you TimboTT18 :D;).

Only if you pay for my PPL so I can fly the old girl myself! 😀

Any Mosquito and I would travel the world in the Bristol Type 175 Britannia 312 like the one at Duxford

I like the Cri-Cri idea.

No amount of money will sort out the agony of having to maintain all that old, complex stuff.

Let’s face it, the bottom line is that you want a bunch of people telling you how wonderful you are. There are easier ways of doing it than stressing over a owning/maintaining/insuring/displaying a warbird.

As soon as I’ve managed work out what that easier way is, I’ll let you know. 😀

Another thing worth contemplating. If you got your TSR2, although you might be able to display it at the smaller shows, you probably would not have a long enough runway to land it. Therefore you would never see you adulating audiences and be able to sign their programs. There would be nobody patting you on the back saying well done. You couldn’t take anyone flying in the single-seat aircraft, so no one would be able to share your joy and the boredom with it would set in very quickly indeed.

Guess what?

Has to be the Shackleton MR3 & MR2.

Much unloved beasts, never mind a feeble Merlin, listen to four Griffons in full song

I found this on you tube http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DPn65t7BQUk

For me it has two be a two seater Typhoon just wanna show it of at airshows and the crowds go wow with a very high speed run at the end :p A Hawker Typhoon I liked the Hawker Typhoon and thought it be a ggod flypast with Old and new typhoons. A GR 3 Harrier to me they where the best looking harriers aswel as the last of the Sea Harriers but I like to own one so that I can again show it off at airshows and that my name would be know in britian for owning a Harrier.

and a Avro Lancaster 617 sqn dambuster just a fantastic dream to own one and the sound and Honour for those who flew them in the war.

Oh and a Spitfire I would like the one based at East Kirkby as everyone wants one of them 😀

Sorry if to long could not help myself 😀

Am reading up on the ventura at the moment, not a great favourite of mine, but some still fly in the US I think so I’d go for a Boston in RAF markings (agree fully with the Hampden, Whitley thoughts as well)

MK VI Tempest with the big chin/thin wing…….. with that engine I can’t see one flying for real and I have a slight ‘ump with hendon having theirs in target tug get up….. genuine I know but ….. ah well, when I get mine I can choose the colours…

Both of mine are theoretically possible, although I fear fairly unlikely…

Avro Lancaster – IMO the emotionally evocative aeroplane in the skies today.

Bristol Blenheim – There’s just something so “right” about it. Lovely aeroplane.

Tiffy & mossie

Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz:rolleyes:

This is a bit like the schoolboy game of Top trumps…..

I’ll have a Cri-Cri and a Twin Comanche, and spend the rest on boats, fast women and fast cars – less hassle than aeroplanes (well, not sure about the women!)

My first bid would be the Focke-Wulf Fw 200.

Second bit would be something really big, like a Short Sunderland.

mmmm, 200mil eh :D,

well i would buy/rent 2 large hanger’s on a old airfield that had a long runway 🙂
with easy motorway access in the south west or central UK,

sub let the spare room at reduced rates to other warbird collectors,so as to bring them in, have all ameineties fitted,etc,

start a trust fund to help those important projects that have not been able to move at speed etc, to help make the non existant fly, ie Hampden/whitley.:)

I would have either a B29 or (if i could ever find one) a B36 peacemaker with its own fan club ,etc like sally B,
and a Canberra and or a B47 Stratojet ,:D:cool:

and start up a living/Flying early Cold war flight, with other interested parties, visiting the airshow circuit etc,

and donate a smallish building on peanut rent to a museum of aviation archaeology , or whatever prospective parties could come up with,

I would just be dealing with the early cold war heavies with a Motley crew,
the rest would run itself under a sort of umbrella organisation,

that way it might eventually be able to run itself,I know its a dream, but hey its not a bad Idea, :diablo:

oh and Stavertons Canberra Would be restored to fly ,You’d like that wouldnt you TimboTT18 :D;).

in fact would have anyone with a interest in early cold war stuff, 1946 to 1970s

Ah well we can all dream

‘Super Zeppelin’ L32, and a Zeppelin Staaken R.VI heavy bomber.

Why? Because they’re WW1, and huge!

I’ll sneak in an extra engine and go for a Ju88/FW190 Mistelgespann. For the weekends a Heinkel He 177 will do nicely. Both must have been a superb sight in flight.

Peter

de Havilland Hornet (coz it was beautiful AND fast!!) and an ME-163-just coz its my pretend money and i’ll do what i want with it!!!!

1. English Electric Lightning F.MK 2A, easily the best performer of the lot.

2. Vickers Valiant

1, English Electric lightning

2, Heinkel He111
