I see a restoration looming 😀

Who’s idea was this, especially with it being the RAF’s 90th anniversary, couldn’t the voice of reason and logic have prevailed here, it’s going to affect both airshows, or does it make it more economic for international participants.

My thoughts exactly. Just what is there to gain from such a massive clash? It can hardly be economical? I thought money talks and if I was to have an airshow of major proportions I would do my absolute best to not make it compete with either RIAT or Flying Legends as it would mean economical disaster. As for this situation it’s like giants in the playground. Especially for Legends since it’s obvious many potential participants to Legends will go to RIAT.

But what do I know. 😀

Im not sure I understand the whole deal with the stripes. It totally ruins the look of the thing. Mixing those camouflage colors with those bright red, blue and white colors reminds me more of a circus than of a Spitfire. :p 😀

I love it when girls put their “make up” on.

Beatiful 😀

Maybe you could give Israeli Air Force Museum a call.

I’ve been there. They had several hulks around and their exhibits had a hard time in the sun outside there.

I saw the Avenger too, standing there looking a bit shabby to say it mildly, several Meteors, two Spits and a whole bunch of old Phantoms, even with battle damage on them

There’s some pics here

Looks like something out of a Biggles novel! 😀
