    Why did they paint a bullseye on the side of it?

    One of the great unwashed looking at the national insignia on a spitfire.

    The other classic is a guy making detailed notes on the size of a wheel chock,photos,tape measure ,the works.

    Still makes me shake my head now…..

    One of the games highlights could be you could open fire on anything in a high vis vest.

    And when you taxi in and park, if you are not at a 45 degree angle for the photographers you lose points

    Or would that be to realistic.

    The very least they could do would be to park them at a 45 degree

    This idea was put forward a few years back at Duxford.

    The idea lasted about as long as the guy who came up with it.

    Have you any idea how difficult it is to place 30 or 40 aircraft on the line in different slots leaving gaps for visiting display aircraft?

    Add to this an aircraft arriving early,movements to and from the hangers

    with aircraft that have gone Tech,Aircraft taxing past the marsheller and doing there own thing etc etc

    I could go on,taking the time to get them all at 45 degrees is not only inpractical but a total nightmare for the guys moving the aircraft onto the flight line

    I totally agree that the aircraft would be positioned better to photograph placed like this but i can assure you this is not something that is going to happen

    Read Mk 12s post above

    It is RW386

    Not TE184

    Wizard can be linked with Warbirds of Great Britain and David Arnold

    As far as i am aware RW386 is still in a box at North Weald
