Why a redundant one?. why not form a group to support an existing small one thats in use but struggling?. i think its quite difficult for anyone at the mo to keep a basic WW2 Nissan hut up to scratch never mind a whole airfield.
where do you have in mind though??
if you take the average wing as you say. of a none aerobatic type and basically try to make the aircraft fly or even take off? the answer is no. not in the normal fashion unless you have tons of power to use but thats cheating
if you look at a Formula 1 racing car and at the aerofoils attatched at front and rear you will see they are in a sense “inverted wings”. the reason is to suck the car to the ground the faster it goes. once one of these wings gets damaged in a bump the car becomes skittish, especialy on the bends due to the loss of the suction/inverted lift
the angle of the aircraft when upside down changes to nose up as extra power would be required to keep it flying at a set altitude. if no power is at hand the aircraft will descend rapidly but in perhaps a controlled fashion

a Whitley came down around there during WW2. ive had a shufty in the past and its a strange place to walk around.. glad the pilot was ok but its a ruddy odd place to land unless he wanted to get the “highest” village in his logbook?? 😮
“print” do people still want those nowerdays ha ha. yep no problem. i will get one done this week. pm me your address mate
