You might have a problem convincing RAFM Hendon to let this happen, seeing as they have the only surviving Tiffie....:}

However, US warbird collector Kermit Weeks has got a Napier-Sabre engined Tempest V on long term restoration to fly......but whether it will ever happen is another matter.

There is a certain airfield in Lincolnshire with an ex indian airforce tempest sat awaiting a engine (and two IL10 sturmoviks a long way from restoration) .... other than that its getting its CAA and that will be flying.
i think they are looking at maybe a sea fury engine in the states to turn big windmill , but i`m not sure.
Now that will be good !

Gloster Javelin ...

Obviously the Lightning and Mosquito would have to be top of the list, but my shortlist would also have to include:

Beaufighter
Typhoon/Tempest
Walrus

If we're allowed to dream the impossible, I'd love to have seen:

TSR2
Avro Arrow
Boeing B36
SR53

The Hanna family tribute F-4 project?

Are there any Valiant airframes left at all? If so, then my (hypothetical) choice would be completing the V "set" :D

Swiftly followed by Concorde.

228 OCU 18th Oct 2007 17:12

An entire 1000 bomber raid at 500ft.
Just imagine the trouser stiffening sound of that lot...
Excuse me my liege, I must go and change my armour :ooh::ooh::ooh:.






If in doubt BANG OUT.

Dr Jekyll 18th Oct 2007 17:17

Shackleton anyone?

If we can include new build/replicas.

Hornet
Halifax
Wellington
HP 42
Whirlwind (the WW2 one)

Always trust the Strawman

StrawMan

There's two Meteors in RAF colours still being operated by Martin Baker! No plans to withdraw them, either.

Info here

TheStrawMan 18th Oct 2007 17:42

Is there really, my apologies

rockridge 18th Oct 2007 17:46

wtf? THIS is not the pic I posted. Is this some kind of Project Suter thing?

SVK 18th Oct 2007 18:59

Now that the Vulcan is back in the air, surely it has to be Concorde next.

I'd even settle for Marshall's returning the odd C130K to flight!

Mark Nine 18th Oct 2007 19:06

Wife says Concorde and I would like to add the Shorts Stirling.

Viola 18th Oct 2007 19:17

Sunderland

Anyone know Kermit Weeks really well?

Green Flash 18th Oct 2007 19:21

ComJam 18th Oct 2007 19:28

Concorde
Lightning
UK Phantom
