If you could

Pick one plane on display at Hendon to be rebuilt to fly what would it be ?

I would have the Vulcan 🙂

Yes dont tell me it was cut up to move it from Scampton to Hendon I know but its only a laugh.

My 100th post 🙂 🙂

How Nice

Hmmm not often is it that I reply to a “fantasy” post, but this I couldnt resist.

Black 6 – Because it should be flying anyway.
The Typhoon or the Tempest – because I really want to hear a Napier sabre.
Finally, the Battle, as a memorial the those who flew knowing full well that they were going to get slaughtered, I know its the only one but this flying with the Blenheim would be a true memorial to some very brave men.

Enough dreaming, back to reality.

Umm, very difficult choice. My shortlist would have to include the Beaufort, Beaufighter, Fw 190, He 162, Sunderland, Typhoon or Wellington. Out of these, I guess I’d probably have to go with the He 162 just for sheer novelty value!

Can I open out this thread and ask what aircraft out of any museum you folks would like to see flying?

I’m going to go back even further and say I would love to see the Be2b flying, complete with bomb load.
Failing that it would again be the Typhoon.

Actually I may go for the Mosquito instead as I have a friend who would appreciate that.

Can I pick 2?
The Supermarine Southampton, what a sight that would be with wings let alone flying!
And either the Cierva C30 or R4, we lack and old flying choppers in this country.

If I had to chose just one………Black 6

If we can enter the realms of fantasy…..

Lancaster, because you can never have to many Lancasters

Halifax, because it deserves better.

Hampden, because we don’t currently have a complete one in the UK

Defiant, to confuse the Airshow public who don’t know the difference between a Hurricane and a Defiant!
