'If I had the money’
I'd take a day off work and ride my bike.
Some of those are brilliant, might get that C130 and turn it into a camper 😀

Buzz Killington to the thread
Oi, being Robert Shaw in the Battle Of Britain was my Lotto win Fantasy.... Gert yer Own 😉
what would you do with it? Or is that a silly question?
what would you do with it?
I'd get someone who knew how to fly it to take me up.
It's got dual controls so I could have a go too.
Then I'd probably fret about the CO2 emissions and sell it on.
If I had the money?
Quit this dreadful job in this shitewhole office and go and do something far more enjoyable, like buy several acres of land on a hillside somewhere and turn it into a fun place to play on bike & with the dogs.
Ooh. It would be the Catalina or the Super Goose for me. Wild camping to the power of infinity! How awesome would lake hopping around Canada with the kids be? Fairly, I reckon.
I saw the DC3 and got all misty-eyed, but then I saw the two flying boats. Yup, one of those and make it into a camper. Like living on a boat, but capable of moving a long way if you hate the neighbours
V8ninety
Yes, definitely.
Oooo. Can't decide. I like those Tucanos, but it would have to be a Mustang, i think. Or a Hurricane.
Catalina for me too. Lovely plane.
The Super Goose is so cool.... got to be that.
Much as I like fast aeroplanes, my current 'if only I had the money' would be this house with attached bunkhouse in the Wye Valley: https://www.fineandcountry.com/uk/property-for-sale/hewelsfield-hewelsfield/gl15-6xa/1496144
Besides, being colour blind I'd never be allowed to fly the jet! 😉

Or take the the time to look for a better paid job so you could buy a jet plane 😉
edited to sound less like an arse.
Let's say I had the money and bought that spitfire that's on there, shipped it over here, paid for some hangar space and parked it up at my local airport. Then learnt how to fly. Could I then just Bob down and take it out for a spin whenever I wanted!?
