I would imagine that your first year reading list will mostly comprise of books that cover the basics that will be required for aeronautics e.g. Fluid Mechanics. Besides, most University book shops or major chain stores near to universities e.g. Waterstones, tend to do student discout during the first two weeks or so of the Autumn semester.
Could the BBMF not adopt it when it gets on in life? After all the type has fought for the country and done itself proud It would make a nice formation with the Lanc Spits and Hurricane. Then it could be flown for a whole lot longer as the rest have done.
It would be nice to see that happen, but I suspect that once its ten years of flying are up I suspect that the work required to return it to the skies would be considerably more than the current set of repairs.
Yes, perhaps my post was a bit harsh. As a country we do have a lot of heritage structures that are an important part of our history. It is just a shame that new uses cannot be found for a lot of them.
