Thats a shame it was a great show. The F22 was awesome also the Vulcan.

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.

Some countries haven't caught the PC bug yet.

Only in Germany - if used without correct historical context.

wiki:

The European Union's Executive Commission proposed a European Union-wide anti-racism law in 2001, but European Union states failed to agree on the balance between prohibiting racism and freedom of expression.[63] An attempt to ban the swastika across the EU in early 2005 failed after objections from the British Government and others. In early 2007, while Germany held the European Union presidency, Berlin proposed that the European Union should follow German Criminal Law and criminalize the denial of the Holocaust and the display of Nazi symbols including the swastika, which is based on the Ban on the Symbols of Unconstitutional Organisations Act. This led to an opposition campaign by Hindu groups across Europe against a ban on the swastika. They pointed out that the swastika has been around for 5,000 years as a symbol of peace.[64][65] The proposal to ban the swastika was dropped by Berlin from the proposed European Union wide anti-racism laws on January 29, 2007.[63]
