I was thinkin' that when I had to send Audioslave songs to him. Which I have to say never worked because Yahoo! can't handle them!

No....Its minibloke822, because:

A) At the time I had a mini that I was adamant I would never sell
B) Im a bloke (Open to debate though)
C) My racing number was 822 (but I later changed it to 802)



All votes have been registered, sadly I wont be able to reply thought because...I cant be arsed to

Doubt it. Although the winner is fairly obvious according to all the threads we have had on it...

I was hoping response would be a little greater than it was, in over 9 month weve only had about 120 results Here are the results though, may as well end voting now.

Supermarine Spitfire: 18
North American P-51: 15
Lockheed P-38: 13
De Havilland Mosquito: 10
Messerschmitt Bf-109: 7
Boeing B-17: 7
Boeing B-29: 6
Republic P-47: 6
Messerschmitt Me-262: 6
Douglas C-47: 5
Chance-Vought F4U: 5
Focke-Wulf Fw-190: 4
Focke-Wulf Ta-152: 3
Avro Lancaster: 3
Hawker Hurricane: 2
Northrop P-61: 1
Ilyushin IL-2: 1
Consolidated B-24: 1
Grumman F4F Wildcat: 1
Hawker Typhoon: 1
Junkers Ju-87: 1
Grumman F6F Hellcat: 1


I can safely say this whole thing was a failure!

Okay well if that is the case, then why is the Lancaster the best. Why is it better than aircraft that were more capable and accomplished more?
