Ha... This thread has me kinda stumped. I don't know really what my favourite British vintage plane is, probably Dave Garwood's Rapide. i love this one, because it has a varient (HG691) which I've actually flown in.
There seems to be an uptick in Political comments in recent months. Those of us who are long time members of the site know that Political and Religious content has been banned for years. Nothing has changed. Please leave all political and religious comments out of the forums.

That depends on where you draw the 'vintage' line I guess.
If you say 50+ years old then the Chippy qualifies but that just makes me feel old!![]()
I have flown Chippies in RL and they would not have been considered 'vintage' at that time.
I have heard a rumour that Rick was working on a full blown FSX version of the Chippy but that was a while ago now so I have no idea how it's progressing or even if it's still a going concern. I still fly the FS9 v3 in FSX regardless.......gotta have my Chippy!
Rob Bruce's Bristol F2B is a true gem.
If we're allowing ports Jim Douglass made a nice Gipsy Moth

Whare can I find this beautiful texture at? What is the file name of this texture?
Thanks in advance.
Alphasim's Hunter for me.
A classic which is high on my wishlist is the Buccaneer "banana jet". I will never forget the takeoff they did leaving RAF Fairford after the 1993 IAT, basically they just retracted the gear without pulling up:

The only model I can think of that looks like the real thing is an old FS2004 one from Alphasim. There was a more recent attempt from UKMIL but unfortunately the exterior has some major flaws. Finally now an FSX model is in the works: Check out the WIP blog at http://www.flyingstations.com/
