Seriously though, my @rse-ing around with Paint Shop Pro aside…
Which companies out there with a few coins to spare might enjoy the exposure of their name on a historic aircraft?
In one of the Sally B threads, Virgin was hinted at, not a crazy suggestion given Richard Branson’s desire to run a Concorde, and his support of heritage projects…. Am I right in thinking that he was instrumental in keeping the ‘Flying Scotsman’ locomotive in the country?
Which other companies out there (other than the obvious, Aon, Breitling, Red Bull etc..) could potentially get involved?

You want to start worrying about the engine when the plane is sponsored by an elastic band making company LOL 😮
Thats stretching thing a bit i think 😀

If a Merlin made the same noise as the bloody Crazy Frog, it’d be back in the engine shop, rapido! 😀

I was thinking the same as you.

Given recent happenings, it is safe to say that nothing is getting any cheaper in the world of historic aviation. With this in mind the question of sponsorship again crops up and becomes ever more relevant.
Discuss 😀
Love the photo, But would strongly worry that the Merlin in the Mustang would end up sounding like that bl*ody frog 😀 .
Serouisly i feel sponsership is the way forward as the money is such a major issue now, I hope we don’t get Aircraft in logo’s like the seavixen more rather see subtle things like Brietling did on the Fighters it does not ruin the markings then and shows the Aircraft more how they were when used.
Why not if these big companies have the money and the willing to spend some in the industry i say, It could be a case of do or die after all.
