There are three machines I wish I'd ridden/seen when I had the chance:
Concorde
The Vulcan
APT
Split from here.
Likely not quite what you have in mind here and not to make you jealous (and apart from anything else, this is OT; my apologies to the mods!), but I saw XH558 two years in a row (2014/2015) at the Scottish Airshow, the latter being her final display in Scotland before her grounding later that year. The sight & sound of her soaring in over Ayr Promenade from the south-west to start her display in 2014 will stay with me forever.
The attached image from the '15 show remains one of the crowning highlights of my photographic collection, and even then it doesn't capture the whirlwind of bittersweet emotions I was feeling that day...
