SPITFIRE BROWNING FIRES AFTER 70 YEARS IN PEAT BOG

[Porcupine]

To be honest we've all been overlooking the obvious candidates for most beautiful plane ever built:

:lol: :lol: :lol:

[Harrier1980]

There is only one for me.

[Chuck]

gotta agree with Harrier, the Vulcan is nice....but the again so is the DH Mosquito..and the Hawker Hunter of course!

[Dellboy]

didnt the Mustang use the Merlin engine in its best creation

and the Vulcan no wonder the Argies were scared i had one fly over me (the one at southend airport) as i was driving along Sutton road and i s**t myself through the noise and i knew it was friendly

[stitch303]

hawker typhoon. not the best looking but four 20mm cannons AND rockets!!

[tikkathreebarrels]

I think the bubble canopy was a big improvement in the looks department.



But then I have never thought the Spitfire was an especially handsome aircraft. Give me a Mustang, Thunderbolt, Tempest or Sea Fury any day!

Nope, nope and nope

Ugly dept: Westland Whirlwind, Boulton Paul Defiant and Blenheim..

Defo Hunter, Spitfire Vulcan and Mosquito...HMM the Bucaneer wasn't too bad....

Saw a Blackbird at PIMA Air museum, now THAT is impressive kit. They also have a B29 and B17 you can have a peek inside, outdoors there are a couple of B52's and loads of other stuff, various Migs, F111's, Sabres, Thunderchiefs etc all the good stuff from Vietnam war era..

they even got a Hurricane and a Hunter.
