Fantasy Two Aircraft Hangar - Piston Warbirds
Discussion
How would you fill your fantasy two-aircraft hangar with piston warbirds?
It can be post-war, but needs to have been a series production model of which at least one example still exists, although that example needn't be airworthy.
After much thought...I'd like to stroll out to the hangar on my private strip to strap into the following:
(1) Spitfire Mk 24 (Photo Reconnaissance Blue);
(2) Hawker Sea Fury FB. 11 (same colours as VR930 or Hawker Fury FB. 11 VH-SHF)

It'd have to be a Spit, just which one?
I think I'd go with a MkV
Then I want something that will take me to Mach 2, I feel the need for a cliché, yes gimme an F14 Tomcat please. I believe that the Iranians still have a few flying examples?
So
Supermarine Spitfire Mk V
Gruman F-14 Tomcat

Pure fantasy?
Hawker Sea Hurricane - The one at Shuttleworth is my idea of aviation perfection. To my eyes much more appealing than the spitfire, and something about the Sea Hurricane colours make it even more special.
Short Sunderland/S23 - I know I've mentioned this on similar threads, but a Sunderland converted to Imperial Airways passenger spec as a personal flying yacht in which to circumnavigate the globe in great comfort and at a sedate pace.
Possibly achievable fantasy?
North American Harvard
Grumman Goose
As above but 1/10th of the price.
Realistic fantasy?
Dh Tiger Moth
Cessna Bird Dog (you didn't specify which war)
