Country:  | And they might always balls up the take! Seems a bit wanton when you can build a completely convincing replica pit for that sort of thing. | |

Country: | Oh well, that's just pointless destruction then. It's not as if anything to do with WWII aviation is in abundant quantities. Very silly. | |

Country:  | Restauration
There are few people who invest time and money nowadays in restaurating ww2 planes...It's trully a great loss...I myself consider ww2 aricraft the best flying machines ever built... Those were the days when flying was indeed something special...Now everything is controlled by computers which aren't even safe enough...and though craches mainly happen due to computer error human pilots are more often blamed for the accident...Now whith no true flying experience how can they take control in an emergency, they turn to computers instead of concentrating on their own pilot-trained reactions...This is bullshit... | |
