I will have to vote for the ME262, although I hate to say it, the ME262 was a much better fighter than the Gloucester Meteor.

i find it quite patriotic that the lanc only really like british planes, apart from the naval fighters obviously and the tank busters, but his favourite plane in every other category is british (i think)

brittish, does that include northern irish planes

but the fact that most of my favourite are brittish wasn't planned, it was just that we made the best planes of the war...............

Of the jets that saw combat it's gotta be the Me-262, hands down. Now if the Gotha Go-229 got into action . . . 4 x 30mm, 600+ mph speed, and a limited about of stealth . . . it would have been the best of the war.

So let's be thankful the war ended when it did. It would be another 6 or 7 years til the Allies had anything that could have matched the Go. 229.

but even if the Go.229 had entered service during the way, it would have been to late to change anything..................

Would it have changed anything? Probably not. Would it have killed a lot of Allied airmen? Probably so.
