What if ???

This must be a good one…… What if you had an endless supply of money and there were no flying restrictions, CAA to worry about etc etc… 😀
What historic aircraft would you have built from scratch and fly ? ?

TSR 2.
Paint it in camouflage and horse it down Loch Ness at zero feet at top knots.

Ronald Wong has done a limited edition print of that. In 617 colours going past Urquhart Castle. A W E S O M E doesn’t do it justice.

Not really that good a one Avro, if the money supply was ‘endless,’ we could all build every aircraft that ever flew?;)

Thanks for putting a dampner on the mood…
I was just trying to play a small part in the forum and get some idea of what people would like to own, have built & fly……..

My top ten or so have already been named, but how about a Bv138, He100, Supermarine Spiteful/Seafang?

And for a non-extinct type, I’d love to see a Javelin in the air.

where do I begin???

Wellington
Stirling
Halifax
just to make sure any Bomber Command flypast is correct..

and how about a Ju-86, and a Ju-88 (there’s a ‘must have’), Do-17, Ju-87 (already mentioned…)

Il-2, CF-105 Arrow, Avro C-102, G4M ‘Betty’, and a CAC Boomerang just for me simply because I want one… oh and a B-36 ‘Peacemaker’

please Santa please, I’ve been a good(ish) boy this year.
