The Mustang fin was, indeed, not vertical (1 degree offset to one side if memory serves). After all, careless torque costs lives (VERY sorry!)

I (almost!) wouldn’t care if it was sprayed fluorescent pink as long as it was flying!

Shame!!-It would be great to see a ‘109 in the air again!

Awful used to mean ‘filling you full of awe’ anyway!-funny how these things change around

There’ll be plenty of opportunity for different colour schemes after the almost inevitable landing accidents!!

Oh, for goodness sake!- why can’t they sell it? There must be someone who would be prepared to take on a WW2 veteran B-17!

Isn’t there a 262 being restored to flight somewhere ?

Yes! The last I heard was that It WAS under restoration in Norfolk with JME for Paul Allen, but that company’s owner is selling up (or something) and where it is now, I have no idea. Mind you, it might be considered too rare for it to actually fly
