Oh well done! Take it that the aircraft is G-AEZF. A better future awaits now thanks to your actions. I’m sure the restorers will do a great job.

You are repeating the mistake of judging the events of 70 years ago with years of hindsight. It is pointless.

Well put. Now can anyone tell my soldier nephew what life will be like in 2082?

I presume there were Muslims in the RIAF which fought alongside the RAF during WW2 anyway. Perhaps some even served in the RAF.

Sadly that information would deter none of the presumed culprits.

Thanks for posting the link – it does indeed answer a few questions. Would be wonderful to see RS712 back in the air again. Very informative video though Kermit’s remarks re. the movies are wrong as she did indeed fly in both 633 and Mosquito
Squadron.

What an intriguing collection! A real varied mix, beautifully displayed (even if a little cramped) and in a wonderful setting. Thanks for posting the pics.

The Bleriot is almost certainly the XI from the Jean Salis Collection. The clothes are wrong for a contemporary picture, the prop is too small and that looks like a Potez 3 cylinder engine. Certainly not a WW1 picture.

Yes, thought it was just my eyesight, but the guy on the right looks like he’s in jog pants and crew neck t-shirt – definitely not pre-WW1!

Wonderful photos. Particularly the shot of the Vildebeeste. Any idea where it was taken?
