Making war interesting

Ah but how would you know it was in flying condition if you didn’t fly it? and surely that’s half/part/most of the fun. or is it better to travel in anticipation….

Fly it into Mar del Plata and blame the Germans!:D

Well I suppose just because something is flyable doesn’t mean you have to fly it.

There are plenty of people you could ask that question. It is to do with quality of restoration.

What’s the point of spending funds on making it flyable then? 😀

I did think about asking whether the V1 at Duxford could be restored to flying condition, but decided that was in abysmal taste.

Project probably wouldn’t have got past the first flight anyway.

Actually Paul, I’ve been thinking like that too–each time I see the heading for this thread.
Perhaps we might think about making war less interesting.
Funnily enough, it isn’t like Starwars at all.

Making war more interesting? How about building a mini Auschwitz in the playground for the disruptive pupils?

They seem to be extreme cutoffs on the tips of the wing of the Spit there – were they that short in the later models?

My money is on F/L R.C. Gosling in Spit XII MB882 eating that Tie Fighter for lunch and dinner. No contest 🙂
