Like the Corsair





But my vote goes to the A-26C. Especially the the Canadian Warplane Heritage one.

Can't give credit for the last picture as I have no idea who took it.

Hornet F3 and Hunter F6.

Most Internet photos are copyright, so you'll have to type the names into a search engine yourself.

AV-8B Harrier ll.
This is a cruel question. I have only been thinking about it for 30 Minutes and already know it will praying on my mind all Night.
Which two Aircraft are my all time favourites....
SR 53, TSR 2, err no, VC10, Me 163 err no, Dragon Rapide, no
Sea fury, Spitfire, yes, err no, Lancaster, Sandringham, aagh!

Opssys finally makes a sleep deprived choice

After the sleepless nights and alcohol deprivation, swimming in coffee and complaints from the neighbours about the screams in the night. I have finally make my choice of my two favourite aircraft:

To make it slightly easier one civil, one military. For the civil, I had to have flown on it (in this case LGW-LHR) and the military I had to have touched it!

So here goes:
Military - TSR2 - The picture is a jpg of Rod Kirby's Print of his impression of Flight 16 and is from his web site :



Civil - Concorde - The Picture a photograph by John L.Whistler taken in 2001 and is from my web site (published with JLW's Permission):



Whilst not one of John's best the Concorde's are a little different. In many respects the choice of Rod's Print, was on the basis that it was unlikely anyone else would choose it as many photographs available!.

NOW for some sleep. But tomorrow I will probably regret my choice, should it have been VC10 and SR53, well too late now!

Editing Note: I had to move both the TSR2 Image from Rod's site
and the Concorde image from my site to a 'less protected' part of my web space to make them visible.
DIH Now even more tired :-)
