Forty years ago we could not have anything like an A2A or MilViz plane even if we paid a million dollars
Around that time you could've bought a fleet of real WW2 fighters for that amount of money!

Probably too many to list, but here are few:
-Fairey Barracuda
I do keep toying with doing one of those just to see how many it'd sell!
It was still interestingly in use till the mid 1950's or so, so it probably wasn't all that bad. Would be interesting to get the Barracuda for FSX/P3D as it is largely forgotten plane, but was still quite widely used by Fleet Air Arm. According to Wikipedia there was 2607 produced, which is quite a number after all.Nasty aeroplane!
Even the Royal Navy didn't really want them.
