All fair comments, I've just got my doubts from what I saw in the past at Yeovilton. Always seemed a small section, struggling for money to keep it all going. For such a small number of vintage aircraft, I just think back and think look what happened to them all. With the Vixen its a what, 50 year old aircraft? With the corresponding technology and safety systems from that era but now being applied and pushed into the modern entertainment industry (for that's its job now).
Yes each to his own form of being entertained but I'm always happier to see these aircraft parked up in a museum retired, if I'm truthful.
Even that Wasp came a cropper at Yeovilton a couple of years back, didn't it? I've got a picture of it on my laptop right here. (Did they try to keep that quiet?)
Anyway, enough about all this from me. Good luck with it all anyway.
