Had it not been scrapped without a thought in 1947 at Scampton after sitting out on the outskirts of the airfield for several years......
I'm obviously in the minority in thinking that this will now turn the BBMF into a civilian trade a plane warbird organisation rather than a respector of it's heritage. And 65 years of it's RAF service and AVM Vincents personal crusade in saving LF that eventually ended up with the creation of the 'Flight' ten years later is worth more than going all goggle-eyed over a foreign manufactured aircraft that had such a short RAF career...whether that's the Battle of Britain or not.
