RE: Picture of the Day 11/12/01
I don’t think the is a strict definition of what represents a ‘warbird’ anywhere. It’s a generic term which can apply to a large number of aircraft or equally a small number depending on your quarms.
I for one believe the Bristol Freighter to be a ‘warbird’ if she is ex-military but few others would I am sure. It also brings in types like the Cessna T-41 Mescalero (172) which was used by the USAF
in the ‘states’.
The is no hard or fast rule – call it whatever you like (the Buccaneer) but I am sure you are preaching to a converted congregation already! She must be a ‘warbird’ !

This was taken at the end of the Gulf war at Brize Norton along with a load of other Gulf aircraft.
I cant remember the serial number, but she was called the ‘sea witch’ on the nose art and i have a feeling that she was preserved but again cant remember where.
