Hard to see how you can do a meaningful air battle re-enactment without some reasonably representative aeroplanes.
But, if you did - it might be rather fun to have a go at pretending to be 266 squadron in the middle of the first world war for a weekend. Bags I get to be Biggles! A couple of dozen microlights pretending to be Sopwith Pups and Fokker Tri-deckers would at least be roughly the right speeds and cockpit environment. Add in a few Cessnas pretending to be heavy bombers....
Mind you, the 25 hours minimum to get a Microlight PPL would have marked the pilots out as incredibly experienced by the standards of the time, and your average club pilot a veteran!

N.B. How on earth did one squadron achieve two airworthy Tucanos at once?
