Some instruments there that I need, so what plane is it?

The Hunchback of Britain... but jolly good at bashing bombers out of the sky :)

Incredibly rare Boulton Paul Defiant 1, at one time believed by the Germans to be a rear-firing Hurricane!!!
Image
The ugliest plane Supermarine ever made!

Saving the best for last ;D ;D ;D Chris are you still on for grabbing one of those Merlins?

There are two types of aeroplane, Spitfires and everything else that wishes it was a Spitfire!

To be sure of hitting the target, shoot first and, whatever you hit, call it the target.

There's no sense in being precise when you don't even know what you

Agreed. One of my regrets is that I never saw (or heard) her in the air. :(

PS. That's the famous "Black 6".

It was only repaired to static display standard as it was going to be retired anyway. Unfortunately it crashed during its last display season, just before I got to see it fly. It was quite badly damaged so I doubt it will ever fly again.

Just a question... boy, I am going to regret this... Is that 109 the real deal? I mean: is it a real plane or a replica? Cause the pictures remind me of an overgrown model, the colours make it look a bit like plastic...

Please don't kill me, Pleeaaaaaase....  ;D
