This is the place where the majority of the warbird (aircraft that have survived military service) discussions will take place. Specialized forums may be added in the new future

I was of course talking (but of course everybody had it already understood) of Spits, Hurricanes, Swordfishes, Gladiators etc... that kind of warbirds which are always painted the right way without useless "rich dentists" additions.

P.S. I've also always found very poor that not a single Buchon has ever been restored in its very interesting Spanish airforce colors.

Funny...we've got one like that in the USA.

We will begin some restoration work on the TB-25N 44-30635 at Chanute Air Museum beginning this fall after we complete our work on the P-51H. There is much to do with little to work with. I will be asking for the assistance and WIXdom of the experts and enthusiasts gathered here.
Thanks in advance for you support.
