RE: HEY ALL
Welcome back! </p>
I was working in England a few years ago when a group of WWI and WWII collectors flew their aircraft. It was at a place called the Shuttleworth Collection at the Old Warden Aerodrome in Biggleswade, England. Everything they have was flyable, some flyable but not flown, but the air show was tremendous. They had a Battle of Brittain flight which was really impresive. Quite an event.</p>

RE: HEY ALL
You have to check out the pics and video from our local warbird day. It's got a corsair that I know you'll appreciate.
