Double Zero,

Thread drift but:

There is an airworthy Lysander at Old Warden and at least one other overseas - Canada, I think

There are a few FW190s around including a D, but all FlugWerke ones I think. There is apparently an original airworthy one (in the USA?) but it is too rare and precious to risk.

I think that a recent FlyPast also reported on a well-advanced project to bring a HE111 back into the air, albeit an ex-Spanish Air Force one as used in the BofB film.

There are also, of course, the new-build Me262s from Seattle

Personally, if I'd lots of Euro lottery cash I'd throw it:

1. Getting a Mosquito up there again (even though there are 3 planned to get airborne in the next year or so).
2. Getting another DH 88 Comet up there
3. .. and a Beaufighter
4. .. and going to Reno to see the MB5 replica make it to the skies

ah well - I can dream
