    I think the RAF and the Luftwaffe held each other in quite high esteem even back in the war. They buried each other’s pilots and crew with full military dignity whenever they could. The Red Baron was given a proper hero’s burial by us I think!

  3. totally agree but it was so refreshing to see such different points of views come to gether , to see both sides understand what the young men of both sides went through and respected each other , more so the model flyers whole realised how difficult itwas even in miniture

    I meant the respect thing is similar to both full scale and miniature flyers!

    My eldest has just got into airfix models which has sparked an interest in all things WW2 related ....which is a nice change to his normal Xbox zombie state :D
