This is a moment I wish I could give more than a 'like'! What an incredible collection. It would be amazing to sit in the one which actually flew in the Battle of Britain.
A poster at tos said the collection had been sold to the Swiss.... I wonder what the Swiss will do with the collection..?
I actually sat in the Spanish version of the 109 in Houston after it was painted in all it's warbird glory.. Very small airplane when compared to a 51.. The guys I talked to who flew them said they flew great but the aircraft with it's narrow gear was squirrely on a hard surface runway.. Grass strip was better but you still had to be careful in any kind of crosswind...
I knew a German guy who flew BF-109s during the war.... Some of his stories were amazing.... just as his surviving was...
