BF109 "Black 6"
Black 6 was 1 of the last dissplay aircraft in Gt. Britian before it crashed,thankfully the damage wasn't too bad and the pilot survived. Black 6 may be restored to flying conditon, but in the mean time it is currently being restored to static condition. |
P-51D
1/24 Scale P-51D, Nose art reads: "Big Beutiful Doll," the P-51 was originally built by the North American Company in responce to British requirements for a fighter plane just after the Battle of Britian. The prototype aircraft was built and designed in only 147 days! and RAF's fighter command was so pleased with it that it ordered a few hundred straight away.

English Electric/BAC Lightening F.6
The Lightening was basicly just a piolot straped to 2 Huge Jet engines. It could even match the performance of a modern day F-15 Eagle! The Lightening once intercepted an American U-2 Spy plane at 70 000ft, at a time when ground to air missiles couldn't reach that high. To intercept the U-2, British Radar dectected an Un Itendtified Flying Object, or U.F.O flying over British air space heading towards Russia, and the Lightening scrambled and from the moment of the wheels leaving the ground it vertually flew verticall up to intercept! |
