Amodel Antonov An-22

The english electric lightning is a firm favourite of mine, when ever we
take the caravan to edinburgh we get the bus into the city, as the caravan
site is on a bus route and you can get a bus right at the gates, we got a
bus one time which took us near the Gyle, and Ferranti have lightning on
display outside on the grass, in a dramatic pose, i allways thought these
were small, but when youre up next to one, theyre alot bigger than once
thought, besides i've done alot of reading about this plane. I still wouldnt
put down the Hunter though, another quality british aircraft, aswell as the
victor, and the vulcan and TSR2 and... i could go on endlessly!

Military equipment is made to do
a job, not to look good.

Then explain the Mosquito!

I guess when you're doing below-rooftop height down some European
street,
you've got to look the business! - or you may as well be farting
around
at
a
much higher alt.

Those invasion go-faster-stripes added streetwise style - just ask the
boy
racers in their Novas!



To me, you cant beat the beauty of the Hawker Hunter

I see a couple (non flying) everyday, and they still look great

Probably the most beautiful jet ever built. It's so Freudian...looks like
sex and death!
