Forum rules
This is the forum to share your recent aviation photos with the rest of the community, being photos not older than six months at the moment of topic opening. Theme-based topics, not about recent events, should go into the sub-forum. Although we will not screen beforehand, we reserve the right to delete any images, especially if clearly unsharp or otherwise low in quality. For more information on how to upload you images, check this post. In topic titles, please use airfield names in stead of just codes, and be clear about what kind of photos your viewers can expect (e.g. CIV/MIL, location etc.). Finally, bring any photo criticism understandable and to the point, not cynical or offensive! Simultaneously, do not feel offended by criticism per se, but simply explain your motives, taste et cetera, or ignore if you wish so. |

Probably the Oldest Current Military in Europe(Chipmunks)? You'll find older current military aircraft at Coningsby. I'd say the oldest is P7350?

Re: Probably the Oldest Current Military in Europe(Chipmunks
All BBMF aircraft are military, granted they are not frontline aircraft, but they are still military, I have to say though that I was doubting if one of the Hurricanes was older, just not sure. That is why there is a "?" after that registration.Alpha Kilo One wrote:That's not active military. Just for show...... Meanwhile Hurricane is older!

Spitfire P7350 is the oldest, f/f Aug40.
However it was sold to a civilian as scrap in 1948 and returned later to the RAF
For the benefit of Mr. Kite, there will be a show tonight on trampoline

Something you don't expect. Spit being older than Hurricane! Hurricane never gets the fame it deserves
