where a group of people, dressed in the appropriate 1940 RAF uniforms, were sitting.
I am not offended by people playing dress-up, and if it gives them pleasure, fine; but personally I can't relate to such
're-enactment' enthusiasts. As far as I can make out, essentially none of them have genuine military backgrounds, and none are capable of operating service aircraft; so their hobby seems to consist of wearing uniforms, ranks, decorations, etc., to which they are not entitled, and having their photos taken in airplanes that they know nothing about.
I don't know any re-enactors, and the above assessment may be unfair; if so, I apologize in advance. Still, I can't help but think that if these people are really interested in the military and/or aviation, they would be much better off joining the
RAuxAF or pursuing pilots' licenses.
