I was wondering why the Gov't won't allow any of these historic aircraft to fly. I'm a big EE Lightning fan and I know there are several airworthy examples in England, and qualified pilots to fly them but they just refuse to let them get airborne. The only place left to see one fly is South Africa, and that Gov't doesn't seem to have a problem with it.
I don't understand why letting them fly at special events would be an issue, but obviously, it is for some reason.
