RE: Building a large foam plane
I visited both the Duxford Aerodrome and the Shuttleworth Collection in Biggleswade, UK.
The former had an airshow that had a re-enaction of the Battle of Brittain with quite a few flyable Brittish a WWII aircraft .
At Biggleswade, the Shuttleworth Collection consisted of many restored and flyable Brittish aircraft from WWII and before. They had an airshow the day I visited. It was quite a show. One aircraft in particular was the twin engined Comet. I have many pictures from both events. I can post them if anyone is interested.
