"I'd like to see some UK-Heritage flight in formation with a Sopwith, Spitfire and SHAR. How does that sound?"

Like you couldn't find a Hurricane? Pup, Hurricane, Sea Harrier would pretty much demonstrate the beginning, middle and end of practical war-fighting British fighters, and all more or less the work of a single British aeroplane concern (because Sopwith restarted business after WW1 using his mate's (Harry Hawker) name for the reborn company). Proper aeroplanes built by proper people. I'm sure you'll take care of your example.

I wish you the very best of fortune with this venture. A bit over 13 years ago thee, me and my then project-pilot went to look at another navy V/STOL jet in Moscow. I've still got a nice picture of you and my PP up to no good in Gorky Park. Happy days. Oh and XW175 is still very much in business helping the next generation so please don't nick all the Harrier I kit from over here!
