RE: 100 years of powered flight 2003 !
I realise the cost would be prohibitive, and possibly some events need to wait until their individual centenaries, but here are some suggestions:
1. Obviously, a recreation of the first flight of the Wright Flyer.
2. Recreation of Bleriot’s flight across the Channel
3. Recreation of Lindbergh’s flight across the Atlantic.
4. Recreation of first solo England to Australia flight by (Bert Hinkler?)
Each flight would be done in a modern replica of the original aircraft, manufactured to duplicate the original externally, but with modern engines/radios etc. (Except for the Flyer and the Bleriot)
Any other ideas?
