evinX Posted October 6, 2010 Share Posted October 6, 2010 I do:D a few years back i saw a documentary on one of my most favourtie aircraft of all time, the b29 superfortress, it was called frozen in time b29, if you like these planes, this documentary is a must! really great rebuild after being sat in heavy snow for 50 years. Finally got to watch it properly after all these years so thought id share, i love that plane! Model pic Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Havard Posted October 6, 2010 Share Posted October 6, 2010 This is one of my favourites..!! http://img299.imageshack.us/img299/5696/planes.jpg Been kept in my father in laws shed for years and never used until we recently needed a 1/4 of an inch taking off the living room door. I was fitting wooden flooring at the time and it was a bit thicker than the carpet it replaced. Rolled back the years and shaved off maybe a touch too much but wonderful none the less. You can get elctric ones these days apparently..... H. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ozz Posted October 6, 2010 Share Posted October 6, 2010 Um, I used to be a member of the war planes club, they would send me datasheets of aircraft everymonth for a binder. My favourite old skool was either the liberator (i have a large painting of one) or the de havilland mosquito. For modern aircraft, probably the russian mig, foxbat. Ozz, aged 35 1/2.

SupraStar 3000 Posted October 6, 2010 Share Posted October 6, 2010 I love warbirds. I'm going to Duxford this weekend to see the last flight of the F86 Sabre and maybe the B-17, SallyB but,,.... that documentary really pissed me off. (If its the same documentary im thinking of) A guy actually died working his ass off to rescue that B29 and then the other prat didnt even go through the pre-flight checks to insure the fire extinguisher was handy. Completely ruined that wonderful machine. Now,.... if you want to see an "uplifting documentary" watch Glacier girl Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SupraStar 3000 Posted October 6, 2010 Share Posted October 6, 2010 - Glacier girl is about a p-38 - The other documentary we're talking about is about a b-29 - Lbm is talking about marsh land - Dave is talking about anal rape ... .... and i'm sure i've seen a wooden tool.
