One of the two that are still flying.

Cool to see that some of those old buses are still flying. My grandfather was crew on one during WWII.

I've seen this picture of a Spitfire, and a Typhoon with D-Day invasion stripes floating around recently too.

In the beginning there was nothing, which exploded.

Awesome stuff, thanks for sharing.

I got to see an F-86 SabreJet and MiG-15 (the top korean war fighters) flying together a few years ago. Was the most spectacular thing I have ever seen at any event. They are both such beautiful looking aircraft. The Sabre was polished to a mirror finish which made it extra sexy.

I remember seeing an RAF Vulcan bomber at an air show in Texas as a kid. It's a very graceful plane, but dammit, something that slow should be falling from the sky.

There's one still flying, it's a regular at UK airshows. It should be flying over my house repeatedly between the 28-31 August; bring the noise.
