What Warbird gives you 'The Feeling', and why?

Posted by Steve Young on Tue Nov 20, 2001 01:27:05 PM

Following on from Tony's question, I was thinking about which warbirds give me "The Feeling"; I'm sure there's got to be at least one which makes each of us stop in our tracks, smile, stare in awe, or just gulp back a lump in our throat, every time we see or hear it. It's the one warbird that means something special to you. What is it? And why?

For me it's BBMF's Lancaster. She's a living memorial in every sense of the word, and every time I see her fly she reminds me of the sacrifice made by the thousands of Bomber Command crews during the Second World War. I can't think of any time I've seen it fly without getting a bit misty eyed.
