Runners-up ;D

Another runner-up... my first view of a Zero as well!
Image
One for Roger
Image
Some instruments there that I need, so what plane is it?
Image
The Hunchback of Britain... but jolly good at bashing bombers out of the sky :)
Image
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!
Image
Saving the best for last ;D ;D ;D Chris are you still on for grabbing one of those Merlins?

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.

Pity she will never fly again but she still looks stunning!
As seen last year by me during my trip to Europe:

I got alot of strange looks carrying my Maxxum 9 around with the huge flash on it while in the museum ;D.

BTW nice shots Mark...

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

It is the real deal and the Spit looks like a plastic model,too. Must be the paint...
