About this site

Unreal Aircraft was originally created by John Burford as an extension of his "Australian Aviation Archive" site (now closed), John was about to take the Unreal Aircraft section of his site down when I happened to find it.

I enjoyed the site a lot and thought it would be a shame to lose it so I asked John if he'd mind if I took it over, very graciously he said yes, so here it is in it's fourth incarnation!

Please keep in mind this site doesn't claim to be a complete reference, there are whole classes of 'unreal aircraft' omitted, I'm an aviation fan not an 'expert' and I don't have access to any new material to expand the site.

But there are leads to other good aviation sites on the links page, I'll add more as I find them. If you have extra information/pictures to share I'll be most grateful, please get in touch via my contact page.

John and I thank all contributors, correspondents and visitors for your past (and future) support!
