All time Favourite.

Well we’re still here then?
Yesterday I was under the impression that we were going to be Cyber hijacked.
Well, Luv-a-duck Guv’nor I thought that sounds jolly exciting.
Here I am with my cyber suitcase packed and we’re all still here writing about Bl**dy aeroplanes.
Oh well.

As things have been getting a bit heavy of late and we haven’t done something like this for at least a fortnight.

What’s your all time favourite aircraft?
And I want reasons—good sound historical/engineering reasons.
Not things ‘cause I like the shape.’
Mine for instance is the DH 60 Moth.
An aircraft that changed private flying forever and changed the perception of the aeroplane in the minds of ordinary people.
It’s also the most economical aeroplane that could be built around an engine of 80-120HP.
Well it was at least in 1925. Might still be today.
Anyway something to bash about.
All the best
Andy.

PS I’m doing this in revenge for my Fox Moth thread dying so quickly last week.

Not sure who owns her, but I’m pretty certain she’s still at Booker.

If you doubt my sincerity about her being my favourite, check out the bottom row in this pic…:D

Spitfire Mk.I

Daz
I understand from the ‘flying Spitfires thread’ that this aircraft is currently in pieces somewhere. Do you know where and who currently owns it?

Spitfire MkIa AR213 – the first ‘live’ Spitfire I’ve been able to get up close and personal to.

For that reason alone, she’s my favourite 🙂
