Let me throw a hand grenade: Are we going to keep restoring and crashing these machines - until there are none left? Since the Convair there was the Ju-52.
It was my late father who asked this question when the last airworthy Beaufighter went in. He was in Beaufighters and Mosquitos for 4.5 yearsin WWII and thought it better to have something original to show the next generation rather than reproductions.
