Favorite Type of Warbird

[Yob]

Hi guys, just wondering what version of the Spitfire you guys like the most. It does not have to be Only the Spitfire i love the Mk 9 c type wing. I also love the DH.98 Mosquito mk V and the Corsair and Kittyhawk.

Here is a little Vid of 16 Spits in formation.

Heres a little picture of the mark 9 escorting a B-17 entitled HOLD ON YANKS Please note that in the Picture it's a late mark Ix due to the Tail section and smaller bulges around the cannons. Thats what the artist did any way, but it looks like it has a griffon. But that is the latter type of merlin with a slight rise toward the front.

All types from all countries , painting is a little jaded - no bulge on engine just the slash of exhaust in the paint , best way to tell is with markings and the C type wing making it the early Mk9 .. and the 4 bladed prop

Mk V, IX and XVI for me..other favourite warbirds - Mosquito FB MK IV (now that I've seen one in the flesh) and P-40E/M/N Kittyhawk. Others not far behind - Corsair, Yak -3 and P-51D Mustang

Forgive me for my comment about the engine that's wrong but it's a latter mk 9 according to this. But since Your older i'll admit i am wrong. until you read this.

Best way of telling directly is the registration MH/MK listing

Corsair for me, dont ask me why... I just love the look of the things

Woops read that rego wrong but it's just art so it's not a accurate representation of RW. But any way i know what you mean Dean i love the corsair it's just not explainable is it.

One thing that did happen and many times and with many frontline aircraft , have a major part damaged they simply retrofitted the with parts and bits and pieces from another , then to try and find that very aircrafts history is a mission in its self so in hindsite you can call it Artistic licence or discretion .

i Wish i lived near a airport with warbirds

[Splitpin]

For me it would have to be anything from the 50's and 60's , Brit, Russian, American ..... love them all.

[Mynameisnemo]

For me it must be the DH.98 Mosquito!

[steelsporran]

Anything with Griffons or Merlins

[Fozzer]

With a Hangar mostly full of General Aviation aircraft for Touring, I very occasionally use a F86, or a Jet Provost Trainer just to get me from A to B quickly...

..then its back to my Cessna 150 Aerobat/Beech Baron 58... ...!

Paul...FS 2004+ FS Nav... ...!

[gojozoom]

Number one is the P-38 for me... Followed by the Corsair.

[spongebob206]

Mossie Mossie Mossie

Next would be Corsair, Spitfire and Thunderbolt

[Yob]

yea i love the mossie absolutely love it i also love the Su-27 and Mig-29 but there not war-birds. With the Spitfire what mark do you like sponge-Bob, because i know of at least 1 mark 9 being developed which i have the Privilege to be part of the development of that spectacular plane.

[spongebob206]
