109 etc. Riat 2010

Thanks Glider_UK, great shots, thanks. But it is so unacceptable that the 109G-4 (first pic) has not got swastika. I think, in a historical show, putting a ban on historical signs just bs.

Restore your own 109, feel free to put on a Swastika. If I was EADS, I wouldn't do it and therefore fully understand that they don't.

Thanks for the pics, Glider.

Thanks for the pics, Glider.

So you should restore any allied plane, not a historical ww2 German plane.

Do you mean you approve of the holocaust? I hope that's not what you mean, but that is exactly what the swastica is symbolic of in the context of nazism (I do understand that in other contexts it has had other meanings, but in WW2 it implies agreement with the nazis).

I agree that history needs to be accurate, but minor details of paint schemes are not what restoring aircraft is mainly about.

"I disagree with you, so I'll bring up the holocaust". Nice.

Nope.

I disagree with the holocaust, so when it seems possibly relevant, I will mention it.

I do not generally expect people to be pro-holocaust, but some thankfully rare people are, so it's worth asking.

Why do you restore aircraft? As a tribute to technology.

Why do you paint swastikas? As a tribute to history.

I think that the aircraft of that time deserve the tribute. The Nazis don't.

EDIT: If I have the correct aircraft, I also believe this aircraft has now been repainted in a completely fictional scheme with yellow wing tips.

Wrong aircraft This is EADS G4, not "Buchon-G10".

I am not talkin about nazism or holocaust and ofcourse i do not approve it. How did you think like that? I am just talking about that beatiful historical warplane with his weird skin.

Svastica is illegal.
Why in this photo svastica is legal?
