I have flown three out of the four best looking aeroplanes:
Spitfire, Chipmunk and Falco with the SF260 remaining on my "to do" list.
All are beautiful to look at and to fly but since I own a Falco then she has to get my vote as No. 1.


(Anyone care to offer me a ride in a SF260?)

That is a fantastic picture, every aircraft looks great in its own right, what makes the picture even more enjoyable, people are wondering around the apron getting on with their own business doing their jobs and god forbid without a yellow jacket on, how on earth did they survive without intervention from the H&S brigade.

The S260 is a really nice aircraft, flew one from the UK to California many years ago that was fun.

The Chipmunk is one of the aircraft on the top of my list, preferably with a bubble canopy, but one thing that has never looked right to me is the fin and rudder.

Yes, I know why it's like that and yes, I know it looks like a scaled-down Mosquito, but aesthetically, it would look better with the fin further back , in line with the tail plane.
