For my taste the Spitfire was the most beautiful fighter ever, the proportions are just right. I have a soft spot for the Lancaster at the top of the bomber category, and the Short Sunderland for flying boats.

I'd have to be crazy to argue with that.

Never mind the look of it, it's the *sound*

Two of them with Merlins, the other with Pegasus or Hercules engines depending on the mark. Nothing sounds like a Merlin...

s/Nothing/Peter Morwood/

And nothing on earth sounds like FOUR Merlins.

Agree, re the look of the Spitfire.

But the story behind the Lancs and the men who flew them is what gets to me.
