daryl_five_zero Posted August 24, 2014 Share Posted August 24, 2014 Harrier... GR.3 or Gr.9 if I had the choice, but beggars can't be choosers, eh? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steelpillow Posted August 24, 2014 Share Posted August 24, 2014 +1 for TSR2. But top of my list is the Dunne monoplane. Then maybe the R100 airship and the Fairey Delta 2, to round off the "one" listed by the OP. ;-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

upnorth Posted August 24, 2014 Share Posted August 24, 2014 Harrier... GR.3 or Gr.9 if I had the choice, but beggars can't be choosers, eh? Gr.3 definitely! It was the first type of Harrier I ever saw in real life, I was about ten years old and absolutely floored by the demonstration. To have that feeling again would be priceless.

Rick Brown Posted August 24, 2014 Share Posted August 24, 2014 Martin-Baker MB-5........Could have been the ultimate piston engine fighter................. There is a replica being built in the U.S so I may see one yet Smudge That looks like CGI! Weird picture. Rick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cmatthewbacon Posted August 24, 2014 Share Posted August 24, 2014 I think the clue was in the title: British ...well, most people have missed the ONE in the title... Mine's simple, and (by comparison) achievable -- I'd like to see, in person, a Mosquito fly... bestest, M. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DAG058 Posted August 24, 2014 Share Posted August 24, 2014 After seeing the Lightining on full reheat today at Bruntingthorpe I need to amend my list and add it! Holy Smokes! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Team Aer Lingus Posted August 24, 2014 Share Posted August 24, 2014 (edited) Just my tuppence worth Jets Concorde Harrier what where they thinking !!!! Trident old enough to Remember them Blasting out of Dublin Plus Bae. Nimrod dreadful decision to retire them Vickers VC-10 if they can put a Vulcan back in the Air then surely this Aircraft should be flying too Bac 1-11 still missed by me loved this aircraft TurboProps Vickers Viscount sound of the Darts brings me back to when I was a kid Handley Page Herald same as above Britannia Stately Airliner loved the Aer Turas Brits taking off from Dub too World War Two Halifax Avro Anson 1 Sunderland & Mosquito Edited August 26, 2014 by Team Aer Lingus Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dogsbody Posted August 24, 2014 Share Posted August 24, 2014 Hawker Tempest. It's the easiest one to fly in my CFS-3 flight sim. Chris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard E Posted August 24, 2014 Share Posted August 24, 2014 Simple: Avro Shackleton Another vote for several thousand rivets flying in very close formation. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rich G Posted August 24, 2014 Share Posted August 24, 2014 (edited) TSR2. But not limiting myself to purely british/commonwealth aircraft; B-36 Peacemaker, B-58 Hustler, F-14 Tomcat (I know technically Iran has them in service but I seriously doubt they still fly), F-4 Phantom (Spey engined of course), Halifax, because they already have one built so why not push it the extra mile! and the Mosquito, sounds lovely as I remember it.

Pawel Szczudlyk Posted August 25, 2014 Share Posted August 25, 2014 for me it would be a Polish P 11 or Hawker Tempest Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tonyot Posted August 25, 2014 Share Posted August 25, 2014 I`d love to see a Halifax or a Beverley fly,..........both amazing aircraft in their own ways, Cheers Tony Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zhizhou Posted August 25, 2014 Share Posted August 25, 2014 For me, it would be DH Hornet, Mosquito B IV and FBVI and to see and hear a Mirage IVP. Cheers, Zhizhou Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alpine_modeller Posted August 25, 2014 Share Posted August 25, 2014 I'd give my right arm to see a Lightning do a tail-end take off, or a British Bucc or Phantom go off the end of a British aircraft carrier again... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
garryrussell Posted August 25, 2014 Share Posted August 25, 2014 I'd like to see a Bristol Superfreighter take to the air again...became extinct around or before 1974 when the last one was broken up Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darth Vader Posted August 25, 2014 Share Posted August 25, 2014 There's only one I'd give my right arm to see.. Lightning F6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gingerbob Posted August 25, 2014 Share Posted August 25, 2014 (edited) First one that really came to mind was Spiteful. Plenty of others, of course. Of course, if time machines would be permitted, I'd like to be at Eastleigh on 5 March 1936... and then come back a few months later to get a paint sample! bob p.s. Interesting how many (relatively) of peoples' choices I actually HAVE seen fly, and I'm a Yank! Edited August 25, 2014 by gingerbob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jinxman Posted August 25, 2014 Share Posted August 25, 2014 Shackleton for me.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HP42 Posted August 25, 2014 Share Posted August 25, 2014 Shackleton for me.. You may well get your wish, the one in Coventry is heading that way. I shoved a few bob in the bucket at Waddington to help it so very slightly on its way. My list would be Shackleton, Harrier, HP42 (I'd settle for a static!), Stirling and a little left field here -one of the giant airships, R101 or R34. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
