Maybe we should all move on from the BBMF name and just say WW2MF?

This Country (the UK) has still quite large financial resources, if you look at the monies poured into the RBS, which incidentally 80% was forwarded to an Irish bank it makes a mockery of us not flying historically famous planes to our Country.

It's more than flypasts, the aircraft are there for generations to see and hear, if you like, it's in our Genes.

Concerning this Mosquito, it's an opportunity, it won't come up often, it's part of our heritage, dare I also say that BBMF has seven Spitfires, what if they grounded one and had a Mosquito?

Now I do realise that in a H&S, PC world we can come up with a multitude of reasons not to do things but if DH in WW2 had the same ethos then the Mossie would never have been built.

Let's please focus on the positives?
