ooopss my mistake, faulty grey cells…
Heres the link to the designers and comment by a senior RAF bod who in my mind was aware how much had been spent and sought to justify the result with effusive praise…

That would be the Iconic ww2 aircraft company, the one built by Gate Gaurds. It certainly shows what is posssible with skill and care.
I would imagine there are many who visit here and are also graphic designers, are they also tearing their hair out in frustration?
If you are a national museum it is desirable that all exhibits are as close as possible to when the item was in use unless restoration for display would damage the historical aspect. In the long term the aircraft will be a time capsule of an in service Toranado unlike the early disposals which lack many parts.
While it might be seen as old fashioned, I wonder of the precaution of having a runway caravan control in position might save accidents. I did this job at an RAF airfield for several years and I recall that the vintage aircraft club using Finmere used one for fly ins. Several glider sites use them. A red verey fired at the right time grabs attention and has a clear message !
Well that is an eye opener graphic Mark 12, I had not thought of aircraft design this way….
Well theres a lot of hero worship of Winston Churchill and ignores negative aspects…
On subject I would suggest that even back then the design of a Spitfire was so complex it involved more than one person.How about this chap ? https://www.spitfireclub.co.uk/joe-smith
For those who do not know Lossiemouth well there is an excellent off base viewpoint at the end of a track by the golf course on the North side.
For those who prefer not to use a DM link(pays them) http://www.aerialcombat.co.uk/2016/04/seven-seconds-the-tower-bridge-hawker-hunter-incident.html
would that be the replica which used to be in front of the old terminal hotel Liverpool?
And I understand the fact that many in service airframes had parts changed large and small so in no way does this make current restorations invalid. They simply follow the principle that they have to be fit for flight and adhere to the standards of the time.
They flew directly over my home near Aviemore…above the cloud !!!!!…I could hear them…
Brilliant to see those pics thanks. The licence holder for the airfiled was not even informed that wind turbines were to be erected adjacent to the runway, another example of the estates attitude.
Ok Bob, I will react to your trolling by posting one link only. This BBC news item has photographs of real DH9 parts which I understand means authentic…..http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/in_pictures/6577629.stm
