    Have to say i cannot remember the last time i saw a warbird FIGHTER pilot not wearing or carrying one, so on that score i would say yes for fighters anyway.

    Yes the three CAS photos were taken at Duxford. Remember them first arriving and causing quite a stir as they were something ‘new’ there.

    Does it really matter that it saw any Luftwaffe service or if it has the โ€˜wrongโ€™ engines? Many of the aircraft in museums never served in the schemes that they are painted in and it is impossible now to find genuine examples to exhibit.

    Surely what is important is that generations of the public get the chance to enjoy a museum that has representative (if not genuine) aircraft, that most of them learn something of our history and that some of them are inspired enough by the experience to want to learn more, support the preservation movement or even to become actively involved in preservation. On the downside, what is the worst that could happen; some museum visitor makes a serious faux pas by announcing that he has seen a He111 at Duxford when surrounded by aviation experts? ๐Ÿ˜ฎ

    Agreed.!

    This bit made me laugh;

    “Brings back memorys!!!!

    I once lived in the cottage with the red light on at the end of the runway on the bend, 22 years ago a plane hit the hump at the end of the runway,skipped over the fence, i remember watching TV and hearing a noise outside and then opening the curtains to see a plane sitting there, there were Police, dozens of Ambulances and Fire engines BUT! guess who got there first?…………..

    BPF: Fairey Spearfish, Westland Wyvern, Short Sturgeon, escorted by Sea Fury, Sea Hornet;

    Very interesting alertken.

    That conjures up quite a sight in my imagination. Just wonder how effective those three new strike types would of been. Would also make quite a subject for an artist to paint.

    Also from my own interest, had this potential scenario become reality and development of types had been needed to quicken as a result of their priority in this theatre, would Rolls Royce of continued development of the piston Eagle… as the turboprop concept was very much in its early stages of development then.

    Thanks James. A lucky escape indeed for everyone concerned. Survive an air crash, then if not hit by a train comes near electricution.
