Some of the suggestions would place a heavy expense on the daily running, and might not make financial sense over a long period.

Maybe they could plan a limited number of reenactment weekends, where people could book their time-journey in advance.

East Kirkby could then ask reenactors to be involved (unpaid, as they surely would jump at such a chance) along with various WWII machinery.

I’m not talking about an airshow style event, but a sat/sun where East Kirkby is transformed into a wartime base and a limited number of paying visitors could expirence the full atmosphere.

Maybe ending with a social event (music and dance) and a good nights sleep in period housing (those of you that already live in period housing can drive home 😉 ).

This way everyone wins – East Kirkby remains unchanged, BUT there is a chance to get the full expirence.

Thanks for the explanation.

So it is not specific to the FW-190, but something that could always come into play, when aircraft with different propeller rotation meet in combat.

If the German pilot could force the P-47 turn right (roles reversed), would he be in the same position of advantage?

One would also imagine that the prime users (Luftwaffe) would have been taught how to get the best from it before they were ever turned loose in them on operations. I remember reading a comparison of Bf 109 vs Spifire written by a German pilot who slated the Spitfire as grossly inferior to the Bf 109. I think it would be the same on both sides in that the captured war weary machine would be put up against a relatively fresh example of its oponent. That would account for Germany saying the Bf109 was the better aircraft and the British saying the Spitfire and Hurricane were better.

I think you have something there.

Add some element of national pride and bobs your uncle.

No, it wasnt Brown.

Here is a link to the full report:

several times I’ve looked on Amazon, seen a cost and thought 😮

followed one of their “new and used” links and saved some cash.

I have also had very good expirence with the “new and used” feature on Amazon. All items arrived quick and as described.

ok, so at least that kind of roll rate difference, is not specific to the FW-190.

Surely someone have the pilots notes on the FW-190.
