I agree in principle but the B-17 was also used by the RAF, so why not keep it but paint it to represent Coastal Command or SOE operations.

The Mustang could also be painted in RAF colours.

The Halifax appears to be in relatively good condition so why the policy to not restore?

Maybe a somewhat contensious point (sitting back waiting for the flak to fly) but why not paint some of the Axis aircraft in the colours used by the Enemy Evaluation Flight. Except the Gustav which should be returned to Duxford to be made to taxi but perferably airworthy again. Surely not too much work would be needed to complete this!

They could also improve the lighting somewhat!
