RE: RM689 To Fly Again
OK, let’s se what can of worms I can open up here
I think it’s time to rethink the way second world war aircraft are displayed. I am getting fed up with seeing Spits, etc displayed as if they were competition aerobatic mounts. This isn’t what they were designed for and is usually the regime under which the fatal accident occured anyway. It’s just not necessary, not wise and a waste of life and machinery. I would prefer to see more realistic action, i.e. a scramble followed by a formation take off, some firing of some weapons (blanks obviously), high speed low level tail chases and maybe at the end a victory roll followed by a hood back low approach and a go around then back to land, taxi in then see the pilot get out, sling his chute over his back and light a fag while the ground crew get ready to patch her up. Now that honours what these aeroplanes did for us.
