Plane / Planes / Aircraft / Aeroplane / Airplane appreciation

All time - The Mosquito, my Grandad worked on them so bit of a soft spot. But also pretty awesome engineering, wood composite framework, twin Merlins, fastest plane at the time, so could outrun the fighters. Sadly none flying today.

I loved Mosquitos, but the Airfix one foxed me a bit, I made a bit of a hash of it.

My great uncle died in one of these, somewhere in Lincolnshire.

Piece of shit.
My dad, my nan and I tried to find the site when I was a kid, we had a few clues as to where it was as it was near an airfield (they'd basically made it home, then crashed a bit short) and there was something in the report about whale jaws on a farm. We found a farm called Whale Bone Farm or something like that, but there were high fences, warning signs, big alsations and barbed wire and it looked dodgy as fuck so we left it there.

Ever since reading Going Solo by Roald Dahl I've thought about how amazing it would have been to have been a fighter pilot.
