I hope the Red Bull people do read this thread and rethink how they are displaying the Aircraft they own. They as a Company have a respouncablity to make sure if theyare going to opperate thse aircraft then the General Public should know their History. None of us had a problem with Brietle and how they painted the planes.

Now Rob, let’s not be too harsh on Red Bull. I agree with others here that Red Bull has done a fantastic job in preserving vintage aircraft. Just because Red Bull choose to display their aircraft in a different fashion than Breitling is no cause for alarm.

Too many of our young don’t know anything about these aircraft. Through Red Bull (and their advertising) millions will at least get to see some of these fantastic aircraft.

Oh, the PMs during the war were of course Neville Chamberlain and Winston Churchill. I very much enjoyed the recent film “The Gathering Storm”, which showcases the debate between then PM Stanley Baldwin and MP Churchill, in the days leading up to WW2.

I don’t know what the advertising is like in Europe, but on my recent (somewhat infamous) trip to Colorado the stuff was everywhere. You couldn’t go to a bar where people weren’t knocking back “Jager Bombs”, a cocktail that consists of a half glass of Red Bull with a shot of Jagermeister liquor dropped in ala boilermaker style. My buddy ordered one, and when he saw that the waitress was only using half the can of Red Bull to make the drink he asked if he could have the rest. “This stuff is $4.25 a can, so unless you want to order another drink the answer is NO”. $4.25 is more expensive than a nice pint of beer, and about the same as a fairly decent whiskey. These Red Bull guys have definitely got something figured out.

Of course, as Mk. 12 would say, you don’t see people our age drinking the stuff. Well, maybe I did have one.

Hey if you guys don’t want it, send it to the UK and we’ll fly it in formation with the other Red Bull twin boomer…

The plane will be flying in Europe sometime in 2006
