I, for one, don’t have a problem with, and indeed applaud, “new build” warbirds. What does not rest easy with me however is such builds assuming the identity of an aircraft that was excavated from a deep hole in the ground and then also claiming that aircrafts history.

Really? so how would you do it then, new identity?

There would be very few Spitfires around, even fewer Hurricanes.

So MH434, where do you sit with that Spitfire?

RIP Sir

Crickey, do not mention Burma, it was hell in here the last time it came up !!  :- )

BBMF being cautious at this time, were they not flying over London today?

Just running into Cambridge now then Mildenhall

We were discussing this just the other day.  we came to the assumption its was the same when WWI got to 80 years it was getting forgot and since the 100 years, nothing.

You will definitely see a decline as the demographic of the country changes and to be honest, no one give two hoots about it any more.

we are the last as we had contact with those who fought, our grandparents and parents in most cases.

The world has changed, we had the best of it, we are wet nursed, told what to do, we even get told to watch out for 24 degree heat in the news.

Sad all very sad
