Vintage aviation is very close to my heart so am delighted to see this on BBC news:

Interestingly, I thought Rendcombe was vintage WW1 with many original buildings, but it does have new hangars ( owned by Nick Mason and home of the Breitling/Guinnot/Utterly Butterly/Crunchie wing walkers.

Hope you like this pic, only low res Im afraid.

Have to say, both designs seem to compliment each other.

If I ever made the big time, I'd put a Mustang and Bucker Jungmann on the shopping list. In comparison, vintage a/c are cheaper than many Astons etc, even when taking into account hourly flying rates.

Another quirk is nobody worries if your average Mustang/Hurricane has accumulated 4,000 hours since rebuild whereas car prices always appear so sensitive to the miles on them. Maybe this is a product of the strict engineering a/c have to adhere to?
