Interwar picks

[Steve T]

Hi all--

Might as well go after the one area Rob hasn't yet! What five between-the-wars Warbirds would you like to own/see replicated? To keep it sensible, let's say anything from Swordfish size downward...I'll go with:

1. Armstrong Whitworth Siskin III/IIIA
2. Blackburn Shark III
3. Hawker Fury (yep, I like the one with double-decker wings too...)
4. Nieuport-Delage NiD29
5. Fiat CR.32 (Warren-truss wings are cool-looking, and apparently those Fiats flew like a dream)

I have been looking for pictures of that bird all over the place.

Any you would like to share

What a rare and nice site it must be to see.

Numbers 4 and 5 in Steve T's list show particular good taste, so I'll just add three.

- Savoia Marchetti S.55 (and fly it to NY and Chicago)
- Fokker C.V (talk about influential designs)
- Travel R Mistery Ship

Hi michael, I have some here but no idea where and yes it is a marvelous old machine. I even have one on the cover of an old air force association magazine with the engine running as well. one day when I manage to find some time to sort through my lot I'll let people know.

Hi Guys,

Sorry for the delay in replying. Just got back from the weekend airshow at Amberley. Great airshow! The highlight had to be the substitution of the RAAF Museum's Mustang into the No1 slot of the Roulette's display. The sound of three PC9's doing aero's tucked in behind a 'Stang was just brilliant. Hats off to the RAAF for pulling it off!

Yep, the avatar pic is of old Harold Thomas' Vengeance Mk1a.

I restored it's '2600 to running condition back in the mid eighties (I was maintaining DHC-4 Caribous back then for a day job). I've got quite a few pics of the Vengeance taken during and after the restoration. I'll scan and e-mail them to you. Now if we could just post attachments on this forum....

Cheers
