The first is a Sea Fury, the second the DH.88 Comet (as found in FS9), the third one is a Edgar Percival EP.9 Prospector 1, the fourth one is a Beechcraft Model 18 I think ;) (but I'm not 100% sure) and the final one is a mystery to me I've never seen anything like it :o

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

The last is a very rare Anderson-Greenwood... there's a freeware version of it for FS9 out there, somewhere.

That guy was trying to sell that old Percival back in '03... LOL.
It flies, though- saw it with my own eyes. ;D

The first is a Sea Fury


Which seems to have lost a prop blade... ::)


the second the DH.88 Comet (as found in FS9)


Or more precisely, a replica of the DH.88. Aerodynamically it is quite different apparently (look at the washout on the wings!), so performs a little differently

, the third one is a Edgar Percival EP.9 Prospector 1, the fourth one is a Beechcraft Model 18 I think ;) (but I'm not 100% sure) and the final one is a mystery to me I've never seen anything like it :o


True Sean, the EP.9 was for sale a couple of years ago - it'd be nice to see it "come home" one day! The fourth looks very much like a Beech 18, but on reflection it looks to me like an early Lockheed twin, either a 10 or a 12.

The fifth isn't too familiar, but I have seen it before.... :-?

Great shots, Mark!!

That Edgar is one odd looking aircraft!!  It look like they went to different scarp yards looking for aircraft parts and came up with that!!
