Good Move
The 68 Battle of Britain film gave the the 'Warbird' scenario a very big boost, as it became obvious that operating old machines (with their engines) was quite possible given the right technical input. Ok it did get expensive, but then there are always people who want to 'partake' so 'it happened', and the display world expanded to suit. Being a ATC staff cadet at a Gliding school at Kenley was always livened up when Hawkers Hurricane, and Vickers Spitfire met up overhead for the Biggin Hill 'At Home' displays, and years later seeing the RN Sea Fury 'contrailng' its way past the crowd line was (to me) the highlight of the day. There will always be a place for the 'Birds' and long may it continue.
