    Leave it be.

    Just look at the F1 coverage last night, total quality and no adverts.

    The ONLY aircraft I would absolutely love,to fly in, and even for a 5 min trip, and have, since seen, many yrs ago is the Hercules C130. I would give an arm and a leg for just a quicky.

    Lincon .7

    Got a few hours in these down the Falklands, they were fun.:D

    a rare night landing photo at RAF Stanley.

    Encyclopedia Britannica quote:-

    …the museum differs markedly from the library, with which it has often been compared, for the items housed in a museum are mainly unique and constitute the raw material of study and research. In the museum the object, in many cases removed in time, place, and circumstance from its original context, communicates itself directly to the viewer in a way not possible through other media…

    Not quite sure how a plastic replica sits within this remit? :p

    Some of the most famous paintings on show are copies as they are deemed too valuable for display. Dinosaur bones are often replicated as they too are rare (next time you’re in a non-aviation museum, check the small print) You will be surprised how many artifacts aren’t artifacts after all.
    Replicas are not only confined to the aviation world.

    Looks like the perfect forced landing, gear down, no other apparent damage. Just a shame the fire caught hold and the firefighters couldn’t reach it in time.

    I was saddened to see some of the ‘real’ heroes left off the list for some reason or another. Men, who go about their duty tirelessly week in week out for a pittance, men, who never complain or show themselves up, keep their heads down during times of adversity, brave under fire, loyal and responsible.
    ….footballers.:rolleyes:

    Found Facebook a bit intrusive, ended up communicating with people I’d rather not. Closed my account within a year. Most of my friends never noticed:rolleyes:
