Thread 63860973

What is the most /k/ino Royal Air Force aircraft of all time?

>>63860973 (OP)
de Havilland Mosquito

Lancaster.
I had money in XH558. That's my(our) cash you hear.

>>63860973 (OP)
IDGAF if it's a cliche. It's simply the most elegant aircraft ever built.

>>63860973 (OP)
it's a straight toss-up between >>63861309
and >>63861431 but it's the Spitfire PR XIX for me

I love this ugly bastard like you wouldn't believe

Out of my way, bitches.

Yes.

If fags say anything other than this then they're wrong.

only British on a technicality but man do I miss seeing these things fly overhead

love it, one of the ten greatest World War II aircraft

but

Suitcase-chan!

Post war? Harrier. Nothing else comes close except maybe the Lynx but that was Navy/AAC iirc.

This is now a Harrier thread.

nuh-uh

>>63862003
I wish Atlantic Conveyor had CIWS and made it.
What a bad ass idea.

Aren't the US staging their equiv of pic right now.

>>63862300
Is picrel from Ascension Island during the Falklands War?

>>63862300
I doubt there was ever a time more Victors were in one place.

Harrier and Vulcan are objectively the right answers but just for sheer elegant quirkiness, here:

Came here to post this. Absolutely FURIOUS I missed the Royal Mint Celebration coin for it.

Not sure of your source but the whole idea was to set off magnetic mines.
Wellingtons at low level with a big ass magnet.

>>63860973 (OP)
Well ignoring the Spitfire, it's the Harrier.

the bucc is cool

>>63862855
In that little 1983 tiff if they had targeted Harriers then it would be game over for the UK.
Telling their Mirages to run away was not the best idea.
Pic because I like it.

>>63862907
82
the Mirages ran away because they knew they couldn't dogfight the Harriers
tactically, it was the right choice

>>63862944
>82
Absolutely no idea why the 3 got there.
No Idea why I missed my summer Mediteranian school cruise on Canberra.
Guys did gud.

>little known Yidfighter variant smuggled to the nascent IAF, used to great effect in the 1950s

>>63862992
Pylons are lacking a little something.

not fully British, but still
Tornado is the coolest jet to ever exist and nothing you will say or do will make me change my mind

The young aviator lay dying
And as in the hangar he lay
To the mechanics who 'round him were standing
These last parting words he did say:

"Take the cylinders out of my kidneys,
And the connecting rod out of my brain,
From out of my *rse take the crankshaft,
And assemble the engine again."

A lost ancient language no one knows what it means,

It gets the turdies going.

I'd harry her, if you know what I mean.

I didn't want to create a thread, and this is the second best one on the catalog rn.
I'm looking for a decent book that gives an overview or analysis of the British Army during The Troubles?

The Vulcan gets all the attention but personally I think the Victory was the coolest of the V bombers.

>>63868731
>The Vulcan gets all the attention
up until a couple of decades ago maybe
the rise of rocketpunk meant people started appreciating the Victor's odd looks more, now the Vulcan is almost a footnote compared to the Victor

It's really simple:
>Did the force use the PBY Catalina?
If the answer is yes, there's your answer.

Vickers Warwick

Don't care, I likes it.

Nah, I’d win

I actually always preferred the Hawker Tempest myself
>t. German

>>63872102
with good reason. it was just plain better and the RAF's last piston-engine fighter

>>63867026
Looks like it was originally English and somebody translated it into Spanish but didn't do lettering etc properly. I mean if I could read another language and translated I probably would fuck it up too. It's why 'proper translators' of manga et al have to learn to redraw and shit when editing to do it properly in some cases.
