I grew up near RNAS Yeovilton in the UK during the mid to late 80's where the Royal Navy Historic Flight are based with their Swordfish, Firefly Sea Furies and Sea Hawk.
My dad used to take me upto stand at the end of the runway and have the above plus the military stuff such as Sea Harriers, Hunters, Canberras, Herons, Devons etc.
I have been hooked on the warbirds/classic jets ever since.
I do think the interest will remain for these types of aircraft in the future, they'll bring a welcome change to the roar of engines that all sound the same :)
The sound of a RR Adour engine of a BAe Hawk is no match for a Sea Fury with a Centaurus or a P51 with a Merlin :)
