Easy……Black 6.
My thoughts exactly… 🙁
Black 6 is a stunning machine with a great history. It would be nice to restore it again, but I think some good replacements are well on the way. Think about Glenn Lacey’s Me109E-3 G-EMIL which is under restoration to airworthy status. Mr. Lacey even hopes to fly it next year (maybe). See this link:

I only hope it stays in Europe when completed.

Here in Belgium, I would like to import a spitfire that served the Belgian Airforce. It would be nice to have a spit based here. Possible candidates are spit MKIX MK912 (now with edd Russel), MH434 and MKXIV RN201 and some other surviving ex BAF spits.

So I need to travel 200 km to eat a good crab sandwich? I may consider it Snapper. Maybe a visit to the museum too while I’m there. 😉

Nice pics aero51. Did some of the russian planes fly? Looks to me the russians had a good oldtimer event! 🙂

So much work and still having some time to post your frustration on this board. You must find some consolation on this forum Daz. I feel a bit sorry for you, but things will go better tomorow! 🙂
By the way, I’m still enjoying my holiday! :p

Bless the man who invented the scanner! Also praise the men who have learned to use it! 😉

I feel relieved that there are so many brave man here. 🙂 Thanks for sharing!
For those who have some peronal problems and did not have the courage until now I say: Come on guys, don’t be scared! 😮 Some brave man have already made the big step and they are all still in good health! (I think) So, Auster Fan and Daz, show what your made of! 😎
PS: nice link C170BDan. It is a nice pic of you standing in front of that P47!

Also I must agree that it is better to have it restored in any markings than have it rot away in some obscure place.
That is the most important after all. I hope they take good care of this machine, wherever she will go.
(I do prefer the finnish markings, but a secure future for this aircraft is much more important)
PS: a article can be found in the Flypast of march 1999 (page 9) with some history and recovery of this machine.

Sorry Dave M2, but i didn’t have a clear vieuw at it caused by all that rust. :rolleyes: 😉
Thanks for that right info!

Well the RAF still operates a Battle of Britain verteran Spitfire Mk II in the BBMF. Maybe that is the oldest?
Did you read the question Dave? :p
Anyone able to shed light on the golden oldies (display aircraft such as the BBMF, obviously not included).
