What a load of hoop! The aircraft has an interesting history all of its own which the RAF Museum is all too aware of. Instead, why not focus on the personal histories of the pilots that flew her? That would have far greater relevance and impact than focusing on people who are already well known or are token candidates to satisfy some liberal elite agenda.

Even better, seeing that BL614 is a Dieppe veteran, talk around that, what the Dieppe landings were about, meant to achieve and BL614's contribution. The battle damage repairs from that day are still evident and would make an interesting talking point.
