    Sorry, but I maintain that trying to set aside the privately owned aircraft will simply lead to confusion. These aircraft (and there are quite a number of them) reside in IWM buildings and have IWM placards in front of them. The average member of the public sees them as exhibits in a museum in the same way they see the IWM owned exhibits.

    Mike has made a very valid point – confusion will reign.

    Why reinvent the wheel? Martin’s site is perfect. Surely the best use of IWM’s limited resources is to simply add a link to his site. And then spend the money you were going to spend on doing a bit of website work on something else.

    Like the Victor, for instance 😉

    I agree completely.

    I am trying to find out what the Walrus situation is, from the horses mouth, as it were. Hopefully be able to update soon.

    I thought the picture size limit went up to 300?

    Not so sure about the dogfight scene: would the remaining Spit really have gone between two 109s to shoot at the leader? Obviously done more for dramatic effect the absolute realism. DS

    No – he would take out the wingman.

    Bill Greenwood is probably not far behind.

    Central Aeronautical Bureau offered 18 Seafire XV for £5000 each fully operational!

    £5,000 was a very large sum of money in those days.

    Yes – each one is different, but they all have a lot of charisma and, of course, historical significance. They also all have a different example of some of the important engines of WWII.
