Beatriz,

I'm not too sure if I qualify as 'young people of tomorrow' ( 46 ) but I've never been inthe services, just worked with them a lot on development Harriers & Hawks ( my father, still with us, served in the Fleet Air Arm as engine fitter during WW2, then did 37 years at Hawkers ).

I'd turn up & show my respect if Horsham council did anything similar to Wooton Basset, and so would my similar aged neighbour who has never had any connection with the military, just been to Duxford etc a few times & gawped at Spitfires !

There is hope - I'm a volunteer at a military aviation museum, and one of the most heartening sights is children having their photo's taken by parents, sitting at the controls of a Hunter, bone-dome & all.

Wooton Basset deserves all the praise it gets, and other coucils etc should take note - I'll be sending a cutting to mine !
