    The choice is difficult, but is the Short Sunderland really a bomber? I took my time but i couldn't resist to a big bomber! :thumb1:

    Well - it carried bombs and/or depth charges so I think it fits the definition. :) Lets see what Admin says!!

      I love the idea of the Stirling Tug and Horsa Glider. That would be high on the awesometer! :jd:
      Its been tried and tested, it works! So don't blame the system if you're no good. :doh:

      It was designated as a Maritime Patrol Bomber so yep you're good with this one :thumb2:

      I like the idea of the glider tug combo too... although that could turn out really big I guess?

      Interesting 8 votes so far - and fairly evenly split.
      2 for the Blenheims
      2 for the Dambuster Lancaster
      2 for the Stirling plus Horsa
      1 for the "ordinary" Lancaster
      1 for the Halifax

      So no clear winner yet. :)

        I chose my pick by its name. Does that make me the weak link of the democracy? LOL!

          No, no votes for the Handley Page 0/400......

          Some of you must really like Whitelys though - now 4 votes! Got to admit a little (miniscule) bit of me was kind of hoping for the Blenheims due to space/storage considerations at the moment. Can't argue with 4 votes though. :)

              OK - poll closed - we have a double build to do!!
              First will be the Whitley.
              When thats completed I'll move onto the Stirling + Horsa. I have a British jeep coming that will go well with the Horsa. Doing this one second as it will need a baseboard to make a diorama on.

              Fingers crossed it all goes well & according to plan folks
