    You seem to be labouring under the misapprehension that all Vintage aircraft preservation must involve flight.

    It cannot and does not – Please try to embrace all the different ways that we try to look after our heritage; it is not all about getting kicks at airshows.

    Yes I realize that I’m not stupid I understand some. Can’t be. Made airworthy and keep them to keep the nations heratage such the Dutch and raf museum

    I;m not aware of him “killing” anything. Certainly he has a better safety record than many operators….look at recent UK losses. Or even the sad loss of the Mosquito in the 90s.

    You have to give the guy credit, be bought UK aircraft when no one in the UK wanted them…

    Without him, the Shorts flying boat may not be around today….and he’s given his Mosquito as good a home as most in the UK would.

    If someone wanted his Mossie as a flier, it would be in the UK fying now.
    That Jerry Yeagan is having one built to fly while no one in the UK is, points to the sad conclusion that no one in the UK wants one that badly.

    Ok maybe killing is a little harsh but he rarely flies his collection of aircraft such as the mossie and I think the C47 from Kemble went there and thats been grounded

    Here could be possible airframes such as the silver one in Oshkosh museum
