BBMF: A flying memorial to those who have fallen - and not the only memorial to remember them ( and when did a Dakota feature in the battle ? ).
Perhaps a rename to Memorial Flight then... but then it wouldn't have the same draw for air shows etc, the merchandise revenues would go through the floor, the donations would be lower, there would be less volunteers etc etc etc.... hence ending up costing more. Great!
NOT.
Recently the Dakota did the VE day fly past at Runnymede (Air forces memorial) commemorating the end of WWII. (The Lancaster was tech in Holland).
If you can the BBMF etc, how appropriate would it been for this to be been done by the latest Plastic/carbon Fibre white elephant in years to come? Not very in my view.
