To return perhaps to earlier on in the thread i notice a lot of nasty things are being said about various “peace activists” vandalising aircraft. I am surprised the Hawk jet on the production line for indonesia has been mentioned.
It is my opinion that an aircraft which is to be used for illegal acts of war should not be protected from vandalism, i think it is our duty as citizens of the world to prevent such murders happening, and i have no problem if this involves spray painting an sr71 or some such.
However as an individual with a strong interest in the aircraft of world war 2 and their preservation i am horrified to hear about the acts of vandalism in museums to old aircraft which present no threat at all anymore…….

You what???????
Let me get this straight, it’s OK to vandalise and endanger lives of serving military officers, but if the aircraft is locked away in a museum then it’s OK in spite of the fact that a number of years ago it may too have been a weapon of war????
So where does a preserved airworthy warbird fit into this picture??? Would it not be possible for said warbird to be armed again if the owner had a sudden rush of blood to the head to therefore become a weapon again??? Would you then wish to vandalise this machine as well???
Vandalism is wrong no matter what the circumstances are.
By the way seeing as the SR71 and the P51 are both out of military service why is it OK to vandalise one and not the other???? Isn’t the B52 still in service???? In which case I assume you are saying that an operational B52 should be vandalised but if it’s in a museum it’s OK????
Sorry, still not got it straight, now even more confused than ever!!!!!
Would you mind if I came round and spray painted your car for all the little bugs and insects that have been murdered by it during the summer months??? That may help me in understanding your point of view….
