-RN Westland Sea King.
-Avro Vulcan at what was Sunderland Air Museum. Not sure if it is sill there though. I suspect Nissan is well on the way to acquiring most of Washington :(.
-RAF Harrier. Whether it was a Gr.3 or a Gr.5 I dont know... but too long ago to be a Gr.7.

LAGO's Twotter! (DHC-6 Twin Otter) is a lot of fun too. I've had many a few time trying to find a Scottish island (let alone put the aircraft down on the air strip :o) while flying some of BAV's Loganair schedules out of EGPF.
It has a great VC (virtual cockpit) and crystal clear gauges.

Laker' got to get a prize for bringing it to an international scale though.

Tornado Forgot about that. Anyone else buy LAGO's Panavia Tornado! I looks beautiful and is great fun screaming through a Fjord with. Can't claim to have ever managed to refuel with the VC-10 or KC-10... not without the "cheat" that opens the boom area to 5 miles square :roll: PSS's Avro Vulcan B2 ...
