I agree. They have to be modified too much in order to keep them airworthy. Fur current needs newly built airplanes like those US made Me 262 or the Swiss made Junkers F 13 will do. Plus maybe a Basler BT-67 or two for scenic tourist flights and similar. Even Mustangs and Stearmans can be made new.
The originals are too precious and belong under some roof. No offense but I'd even put the Lancaster into some museum to keep and protect this original forever. The days of expendable cheapo war surplus WW II planes are long gone.
