The votes are in and it's official, The Spitfire rules the SimV skies! Thanks to everyone who participated and looked in. Could there be a more appropriate way to finish the poll than with a few words from Ozzy on the magnificence of this classic aircraft?....

Well I'm totally not surprised by the winner because she is one of the most iconic aircraft of all time. She lives up to the maxim of "If she looks right she'll fly right".
Whether it is the earlier models (the most manufactured being the V)

The unusual type 509 (Tr.9) two-seater (and the first one I sat in!)

Or her mighty final incarnation the Mk.24

The Spitfire always looks good with her graceful lines and elliptical wings.
A lady for all seasons airshows

I think it's one of the greatest fighters, but not one of the greatest aircraft. Oh well, hope to see a real aircraft win in the future if their will ever be a real vote for the a new poll of the greatest aircraft. ::)

There is something about that plane,, thing of beauty, even on the ground..

Posted: **Wed Mar 22, 2006 11:12 am**

I voted for this beauty of an aircraft!
I love her! Thanks for saving Europe! :)

Ah, the Spitfire - proper job!

YES!!!! The Spit rules...heck, I'm writing a short story in English class about it

Posted: **Thu Mar 23, 2006 3:28 am**

Hmmm... somehow I had a feeling it would win ::)

Now I want, no, DEMAND, that every single living member of SimV explain to me why the Cri-Cri didn't win? It is a marvel of miniaturisation! The culmination of a century of aeronautical R+D. It is a wee miracle.

It truly deserves our ultimate accolades!
