I doubt if anyone will ever get a shot like this again: a freshly
rebuilt Spifire XIV, *two* Brough Superiors and, in the background, a
Britten http://tinyurl.com/gv8onzb

I don't subscribe to, or find anything about Facebook I am prepared to
tolerate!

....and all I get with #2 is a Photobucket page with an image which never loads.

I loathe it too but I follow it for the Av Specs news. If you couldn't
see my original link try this one

It's a photobucket page and I have no problems with it. Try this
entirely different image
https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/...ten%201000.jpg
It's a crop from a screen shot so hopefully it will work.

Yup! A pair of Brough Superiors, a Spitfire, and the bike in the
background. I wouldn't mind having one of those Broughs. The crotch
rocket not so much. The Spit one could dream about, but realistically I
don't have the resources to keep her in the manner she deserves.

Dunno about the Broughs, but I'll match your Spit and raise it to a
MkXVII (follow the arrows to see the lot):

They are built like tanks, but for only one purpose. According to a
friend of mine, who flew one, the controls were heavy, the plane
certainly was not nimble, but it was reliable. I suspect the Duck would
have more accurate information.

Yup! It is big, but I still don't use Facebook.

There is a reason Grumman is called the "Iron Works".
The TBF "Avenger" was the heaviest single engine aircraft of WWII. It
had a normal crew of three. The internal bomb bay made it a dual
purpose torpedo/ground attack bomber which could carry a 14 foot long,
2200 Lb Torpedo, or a single 2,000 Lb bomb internally. Add to that wing
load points where it could carry a mix of bombs and/or rockets.

While surfing the web I saw one for sale, that is in the process of
being restored. IIRC The seller is asking $359,999. I don't recall
whether the price was for the plane now, as is, or whether that price
was after restoration with a certificate of air worthiness.

Lovely hardware, no points for composition.
