Any of you Brits got a Spitfire crash site nearby ?
Might be able to build yourself a new toy like this bloke did.

"...the guns will be made safe...". It seems a shame to me that the guns have survived for 70 years and now they have been recovered in working order are to be damaged beyond repair by being deactivated. I just wish they could be kept intact.

Reminds me of that other Paen to Political Correctness..,.the French Public was "Made Safe" by the Committee of Public Safety ( 1789-1793) by GUILLOTINING several TENS of THOUSANDS of French People...in the interests of "Public Safety".

Does it sound familiar????
