I'll go for the B-36 - I've never even seen one but I'd love to see and hear one in the air...
In the '50s, we lived near Bovingdon so were used to different types flying over.
One day when I was about 5, I saw a 'big'' plane' with '6 engines pointing backwards'.
I ran indoors and told my brother, who was almost old enough to join the ATC.
He hit me saying I was lying; there was no such thing.
(I don't think it landed at Bovingdon)
