Thank you.
I certainly don't think it was necessary, and represented political
failings on both sides.
The emphasis of the anniversary will be on the damage that the conflict
caused, rather than military triumphalism. For example, one of the
displays the museum are putting up is related to the landmines that were
used and still blight the islands.
The museum has one of the Vulcan bombers used in the conflict, which
landed at the museum in 1984 after being retired. The museum is a historic
military airfield. The end of one WWII runway is the microlight airfield I
am based at (EG32).
One of the scenario's we'll be running will involve trying to land the
Vulcan at the museum, for which I used Terragear to re-create as it looked
around WWII.
The runway looks a lot smaller when you're trying to land a 4 engined
bomber with a 110ft wing-span and a cockpit 30ft above the wheels instead
of a microlight!
I'm going to have some print-outs with the FlightGear URL and some
information about FG, so I'm hoping it will reach a new audience.
