    I’m not sure about this too. I’m all for diplaying historic aircraft imaginativly, but this will make close up study of the A/C impossible. But as anneorac says

    “if it gets the punters in and makes room for more aircraft to come in from the cold so be it.”

    Good call anneorac, bad call RAFM.

    Great pictures NC900, these small wars are all to often forgotten but the people who served and died there should not be.

    Always had an interest in the Japanese fighters, ever since watching Tora! Tora! Tora! for the first time about ten years ago!

    I watched part of it last night. It was very good. There was one clip showing a twin fuselage Alon Aircope. I though that it was the result of too much cheap wine but, with google’s help I found this!! As my Grannie would have said “Well I never did!”

    I think we should add another angle into this discusion, that is the “moral home” of a object. By this I mean the fact that a country did not build an aircraft of that a battle did not take place “Overhead” should not preclude a country from having an example of said aircraft (Are you with me?.. Good!)
    A prime example of this is the Brewster Buffalo aquired by the museum at Pensecola. The Finns, British and Austrailians all have a stronger moral case for having an example of that type than the American Navy. The same goes for the B-24 at Duxford what better place for that aircraft than at the main U.K. memorial to the US forces?
    But on the other hand a Mosquito in the USAF museum is a fitting memorial to the men who flew them in USAF service. I know that we lost all our Mosquitos eventualy but we were going to any way, a sixty year old wooden aircraft , of that complexity was not going to last forever. The USAFM one will .
    I still stand by my earlier coment that we have done better out of the two way trade than the Americans.

    O.K we’ve sorted out a wimpy. What about other rare or eaven extict aircraft?. I think that the best candidate for a “Bitsa” restoration must be the Bristol Brigand. There is a substantialy compleate fuselage in existance (at the N.E.A.M. I think) Are there any crash sites that could have a set of wings and the tail feathers?. The engines are sort of available. What do you think?
    There is a group at Dowtys building various Bolton Paul aircraft in the same way and I seem to remember seeing a Hurricane restoration using “time ex” and damaged bits too.
