Being new here I’ve steered clear of responding to this thread, but now I would like to say one thing:
I view the warbird community and aviation enthusiasts as a worldwide collection of people with like interests. I don’t think that nationality has any real bearing unless you choose to make it a point of contention. Quite honestly, what good does it serve to waste all of the time and energy complaining about something being too “American” or too “British” when we’re all trying to accomplish basically the same thing?
I will admit that I am not as well versed on the RAF as I am the USAAF, that’s one of the reasons I came here, to learn more and to be exposed to new things. Turns out I’ve made several new friends in the few days I have been a member and it’s been mutually beneficial for all of us, isn’t that why forums like this were created?
As for the original question of “Whose heritage is this?” I submit it is all of ours. “What takes priority?” Preserving history and helping others to do the same.
