That is awesome! Would your parents be open to adopting me? LOL. :-P

Apperently you are from a country how did nor experience the deeds of this evil ideology.

what happened to the BBMF's two Hurricane mkII's? they were still flying last i looked - have i missed something? and dont forget that they also have a Battle of Britain veteran mkII Spitfire (all be it a non-cannon one) which still sports combat damage to this day.

A quick look at wiki shows three airworthy Hurricane MkIIs, and another seven on public display. There are also nine other airworthy Hurricanes.

When I can find my pictures (I've since emigrated!) I'll post the Hurricane for identification by those more knowledgeable than I..:grin:

Its THE most intimate airshow I've ever been to (twice)... I cannot recommend it enough to anyone who can make it to Norfolk...simply wonderful

I'm going to hope that in the future, comments like this will be kept off this forum.

Hey irrelevant, they do the same thing in my hometown.

Hamilton, Ontario....the Canadian Warplane Heritage Museum. They've got a B-25J (i think...solid nose bristling w/guns) that's totally flyable with tours. Pretty sweet.

One of the biggest collections in NA, and our biggest, it features birds of a mostly Brit/Canuck connection. There was a big fire in one of the hangers in the 90s, destroyed a few planes including a beautiful early Spit.

But they've got 25 flyables including the jewel of the bunch: one of two surviving, and the only flyable Avro Lancaster. A true beauty. She flies over my house every summer - an unmistakable rumble, it knocks your mind out of the daily hum quite convincingly.

Oh and they've got a Hurricane IIb, just like in the game.

Wasn't sure if it was still going, that's cool. It think its wartime colours.

Looking at wiki once again, there are apparently 17 complete Lancasters in the world, of which the only the 2 mentioned by you guys are flyable, though there are plans to bring another 3 up to airworthy standards.
