You wouldn't be surprised of course

Halifax Mk II W1048 S for Sugar of 35 Squadron. A true warbird. Halifax VII NA337, also a true warbird.

The AWM's Lancaster G for George with over 90 missions flown. Rob Lamplough's Mustang Miss Helen, one of the Blue Bastards of Bodney, Stephen Grey's recently imported Mustang, ex-Duxford based. Spitfire MH434(already mentioned but) is probably a double warbird having also served with the RNethAF in Indonesia at the end of the 40's. The Loch Ness Wellington, The RAFM's Hampden, idem for the East Kirkby example, Spitfire P7350 of the BBMF, as well as Mk VB AB910. The list could go on and on.

Most British and German aircraft are true warbirds as opposed to for example the many Mustangs of which most were completed too late to take part and were used post-war instead.
