    If we're talking the other planes then the BAC TSR-2 is my most favourite plane never reached for ( I love too many production models to have a favourite but the Lionheart biplane, a modern interpretation of the Beechcraft model 17 comes close to the top) sorry Phil.

    A slightly munched Stanley #220 (broken cap, doesn't affect use) and de Havilland Mosquito, it's made of wood you know.
    We don't know how lucky we are......

    If we are talking about the flying sort, my favourite plane is always the one I have just walked away from..... after landing.

    Stanley No5 for me - bought about 50 years ago when a hardware store was closing.

    Stanley #5 for me as well I guess. It was my Father-In-Law's, and would be the plane I use the most. As far as sheer enjoyment though, one of the best experiences I have ever had woodworking was shaving down a bass guitar neck with my Stanley spokeshave. it was bliss, and I am keen to repeat the experience.
    The other day I described to my daughter how to find something in the garage by saying "It's right near my big saw". A few minutes later she came back to ask: "Do you mean the black one, the green one, or the blue one?".

    Peter if you like the Stanley spokeshave, try and get your hands on a good wooden spokeshave, I've seen them called a pattern-makers spokeshave. If the Stanley was bliss, it'll be a spiritual experience!

    Going along with the dual answers, I'd say first a Dragon Rapide for style. (though for elegance and making a statement the Spitfire says it all)
    However, I use a lot of old wood and my old brillant, the one that has a two screw adjustment like a spokeshave, takes all the crap off.
    Cheers,
    Jim

    Used my LN No1 to shave parmasan once, and the low angle spoke shave is good for carrots and spuds

    The ryoba is pretty good for frozen bread.

    I don't spot any 'sacrificial' material on the breadboard. Or is this a case of "Don't cut that on the kitchen bench!!!"?

    That might be my next favorite plane, if I ever manage to find one.

    Default Stanley 4 1/2

    My favourite plane would have to be my old "Made In England" Stanley 4 1/2 with an IBC blade and chip breaker
    Got to fettle it at a couple of Jim Davey's workshops down in Nowra.
