Spinning on your suggestion of great unusual paintschemes, I'd love to se the He 111 in Rumanian colours or the 109 some other Axis aircraft colour (croatia, Bulgaria etc). May be they can repaint them every fifth year or so, like they seem to do with the flying warbirds! ;-)

Just a thought, though I can myself see numerous reasons for not doing it... LOL

Shouldn't the He 162 go to Cosford????
