what 3 aircraft would you take.....
If you had a hanger, and somebody said to you that you could have any 3 WW2 aircraft of your choice to place in that hanger to do with as you please... what would you take and why? In no particular order i'd have
Hakwer Hurricane - She a real lady, and a work horse. A beautiful plane. Would have it in the markings of the BBMF hurricane at the mo (YB-W) Avro Lancaster - An absolutely incredible bomber and a joy to see fly, my grandad was a rear gunner in them during the war flying with 50 squadron. Whats not to like. Id take VN-B as the markings, it was the code for his bird  De Havilland Mosquito - The wooden wonder, an truly remarkable piece of machinery who performance was incredible. Give it a job to do... it'll do it well!! Can't fault it  I do like the B25 Mitchell, but opted for the mossie instead so guys, what you take given the chance?

My choices would be:
Bf-109 G- For it is one of the most beautifull aircraft of WWII B-17 G- 13 machine guns, and armour to take a whole lot of damage!! He-111- This plane is just candy for the eyes and is a joy to fly!

Lancaster- but I'd rather have a Shackleton as my late father was a navigator on them
Spit- a two seater trainer so I could share with my son... And a Mosquito- just to make sure there will always be one flying... ________ Hotbox vaporizer Last edited by juz1; 02-24-2011 at 08:20 AM.

Asd for the mossie... one in new zealand (poss australia)and possibly here in the uk that are getting made air worthy again, but dont expect to see this anytime soon. Could be a while off yet. Not heard about them for quite a while so they could have scrapped them plans now..  prob with restoring a mossie is the difficulty in restoring the airframe.

B17-G Flying Fortress. - I can fly to germany in it without stopping.
ME-163 Komet - I like to live dangerously. Desford - you won't have heard of this, because there was only ever 1 in existence, it was a recon plane, a prone pilot test plane, and a bombardier training plane. It had a double spitfire cockpit, with a twin boom like an ME-110. it also had a plexi-glass nose cone similar to a B-17 but smaller. it was once shot at over ireland because it was mistaken for an ME-110. there is one left in existence and it is in storage, in bits, in a warehouse at Snibston Discovery Park, Coalville, Leicestershire, England. I used to work there, and its a marvelous piece of engineering, and very little info on it. but its been painted silver and yellow for training, green camo for recon, and whatever colour experimental planes get painted for the prone piloting setup as it was to see if prone piloting reduced G-forces on pilots, ready for Jet training. it also had a hurricane cockpit dial setup. as either reid or sigrist worked with Hawker. Ill try and find an image, but i doubt i will, i lost my research notes along time ago.  R.S.4 Bobsleigh. is its official title, and there is a picture. painted silver and another painted camo. ONLY one ever made.

A top 3 is difficult and I change my mind on this one regularly (Often depending on what model kit I'm building at the time). At the moment it would be:
De Havilland Mosquito FB VI Messerschmitt BF109 K-4 Supermarine Spitfire XIV (bubble top)
