I'm sorry to say that I at least do NOT respect the views of those who see the B24 scheme as pornographic.
Pornography is designed to deprave and corrupt. How can one possibly say that of a scheme such as this. Can those few point to anyone, presumeably including themselves, who have sufferred mental, emotional or physical damage by viewing this historic aircraft? I should be most surprised if they can. Even then I'd wonder how they've managed to live so long without being corrupted already by the far more graphic scenes regularly shown on film, TV, newspapers video games and advertising etc.
What next ? Are all art galleries to be vetted to remove or overpaint all art suggesting or showing nudity?
Their objection is a nonsense and until such time as a MAJORITY of the public find such as this offensive (for I accept that public morality changes over time) those few who object should be - politely - told to push off and vent their spleen at more worthwhile targets
