[WWI] Favorite WW1 aeroplane

It's changed over the years, though I must admit to not ever having much
enthusiasm for Central Powers machines except as targets in hand held
dogfights

Camels were a boyhood favourite,  something to do with a cartoon beagle I
think.   Then the rest of the Sopwith menagerie, but these days I'd have to
toss up between the Felixstowe boats or the Short 184 - perhaps the Short
wins by a nose hair since it is so completely ungainly that it creates it's
own aesthetic which owes nothing convetional ideas and is therefore just
that little bit cooler
