Default Museum

I went to the RAF museum near my house after work today, didn't get much time but I got to go round the Battle of Britain hall, and I saw the only intact Bf110 in the world. And a Ju88 radar plane that defected to the British. Unfortunately, the hangar that had an ME-262 in it had closed by the time we got out

Just thought I would say that

I want to go visit the Imperial War Museum in London. It's one of my goals in life to accomplish without haste etc.

If you find yourself in the United States, you should plan a visit to the Pensacola Naval Air station in Florida. The US Naval Air museum is on base and is awesome!

There is always the NationalAir and Space museum in DC. They gave a 109, a Zero, a Folgore, A mustang, and a Spit all in the same room.

I really want to go to the other location they have in MD where there is an
He-219 undergoing restoration...and even an AR-234.

And also your run of the mill Allied planes.

That just might be worth the hostile and angry US border control threatment, if you find a non hostile person working at JFK passport check/border controll you better take a picture/video... you my friend have found a Dodo.

You know what I was wondering was, why dont some enthusiast just build new models of classic aircraft liek the Spitfire. Surely all the design specs and engineering blueprints are easily had nowadays. The hard part would be crafting the tools required. The engine would be a bit troublesome since they dont get made anymore but Im sure some enterprising chaps could probably make one.

Considering that so few examples of these planes exist, how common do you think the blueprints are?
