If you won the Lottery what 'Warbird' would you attempt to buy and why?

If i did i would go for Mr Week’s Mosquito. Bring the poor girl home and return her to airworthy standards. Most of you know my love for these aircraft and know how dearly i want to see one in airworthy trim.

Tricky one….
Sea Fury N281L “Dragon of Cymru”

…I would also buy Hunter T8C XE665, and get it restored back into its former Admirals Barge livery.

If I won a million on the lottery I would try to be sensible enough to not waste it on half-financing a warbird that I still couldn’t afford.

mmmm!! tuff one if it had to be one that was in existence i think it would be the P-38F 1 LO 41-7630 (glacier girl) or any P38 why because the P38 is unique design and a beautiful aircraft or if not that then i would put some serious money into recreating a short stirling or handley page hampden (flying examples would be nice)

thanks

I have always fancied a Grumman Albatross! Loads of room inside , amphibian so you can land on water when its hot?!,go swimming etc and it is rare in europe.
And a Yak 11 because I like the sound and they look fun to fly.
Oh and I would bring Lindsay Waltons corsair back to the UK because it was the first Corsair I have ever seen in the flesh and I think it looked great in its french scheme! 😀
Alan. Ps I would get Will J to design a scheme for the Albatross,are you there will?
There wasn’t a limit was there?!
