RE: duxfords blackbird
Odd about AR501 as didnt they say a few years back they wanted to keep her as good as possible?
I would have thught the USAF would have kept the blackbirds engines and instruments?

I think AR501 has had a make over sadly (following Pearl Harbor)

As far as I know, the plan is to leave her as she is…

Keep it exactly as it is. Let’s enjoy seeing it in it’s authentic paint sceme – complete with fuel and oil stains.
Similarly, although a very different type, the Shuttleworth Mk V looks straight out of the war with its chipped paint and stains – marvelous!
