RE: Thunder city colours

maybe it would not be cost efficient to replicate full RAF type schemes and finishes, which require special exemption from the CAA, and since these aircraft are registered in zimbabwe they may not even have the ability to replicate fully authentic finishes, because that version of the CAA may not allow it.

RE: Re-enactors, Actors and medals

as regards the wearing of medals, anyone who has earnt a medal ever, can wear it wherever they want, as long as they keep to the rules set out, as to how they wear it. as for actors wearing ribbons and medals, actors are there to portray a character, they cannot do this accurately if they do not wear what the person they are portraying would have worn. as far as authentic uniforms go-and the tom hanks thing mentioned above. it is known that many WW2 RAF officers did in fact wear non comm uniform, it was made of a rougher material, and was thicker, therefore warmer, always a good thing at 10 000ft. and some non comms wore officers cut clothing, with hidden tapes, in case they were shot down, so that they could pass as an officer to hopefully receive better treatment.

RE: Whistling Mustang

believe you would hear it from any mustang, it could just be the way that that particular aircraft is put together, it is a small tolerance inbetween the oscillation needed for producing a sound, i have only seen the OFMC aircraft display, in high speed aerobatics. it could be how the aircraft is operated, the pilot might use the aux. door more often, all the pics i have seen, during aeros have been with the door open, i particularly like this display, for that reason, it is a very business like aircraft, and the whistle just acentuates this IMHO!!!

RE: Best single engined fighter-bomber of WW2?

so did the MB5 actually see service, I thougt it started and finished life as a prototype.

RE: BBMF other types ?

that would unfortunately mean a loss in power, if I remember rightly- not sure the powers that be would be happy about that one!!!
