Why don't we buy a Mossie for the BBMF?
I was at the Virginia Beach Military Aviation Museum last week:-

Certainly I can recommend a visit if you are in the area as the planes are easily accessible to a point where you can walk up to them in the hangar and actually touch them. Spitfire, Hurricane, Aerocobra etc etc. All in suburb condition.

However what took my eye was an immaculate Mosquito, it last flew in July this year and like any of the planes in this collection is up for sale:-

I began to think and realised that the UK actually is quite a rich nation wouldn't it be great if our Leader put his hand in his pocket (or discounted the Indian aid by a few million) and handed it over to the BBMF to add to their flying collection?

What's your views?
