It can be more than one aircraft. I forgot to add Garry's WIP Bristol Superfreighter.

Pick just one..........not possible I'm afraid *-)

Most, if not all, of the aircraft featured on CBFS have a permanent home on my system and my favourite varies with my mood (or available flying time). I had 30 minutes free last night, so out came the Chippie for a few aeros near the Severn bridge. When I installed the latest Rio de Janeiro V9 (fantastic scenery BTW, and freeware) I used the Dove to have a look around, anything British that was operated in Brazil gets a regular workout (1-11, Viscount, Herald, 748) and for low level stupidity it has to be the Hunters :lol:

Seriously I can't choose just one, they are all so damned good :welldone:

Mike Stone's F-27 as its the only one for FS9 :((

British it has to be a toss up from one the aircraft from the brilliant bunch of designers from this website... The worry is who do I upset :lol:
Arm up my back the one I fly a little more than the others is the Bristol Frightener, I love its ponderous way it pulls its way up into the sky and once airborne refuses to land due to that lift from the wing, a challenge but a satisfying one.
But then again I get the Dragon out for a bimble I haul big freight around in the whistling wheelbarrow and to clear my often confused and frustrated head beat up the skies in the Hunter when I get chance and next doors cat is too far away to kick..

I echo all of the comments above and, as much as it pains me to overlook the masterpieces of Lord Maltby, Rick, Garry, Jens and the others it has to be Mr Garwoods superlative Hunters every time. :hide:

Very difficult. All the excellent stuff at The Pond is worth having... But just through numbers, I'd have to say I've flown more hours in the HS-748 than all the other aeroplanes in my copy of FSX put together...

So I suppose that shows a clear "favourite".

My favourite FSX British freeware planes are Dave Garwood's Auster and Ant's Tiger Moth. Haven't tried Rick's Chipmunk in FSX yet, but if it works, then that's favourite number three. :)

Oh and Dave's Beaufighter, although its a tad too fast and scary for my abilities. :lol:
