Most of them didn't have a clue how the engine worked.

The pilots who fly in the Battle of Britain Memorial Flight nowadays are among the RAF's best and most experienced pilots. You would be hard pushed to find a better pilot anywhere in the world (civil or military) than those guys. Your average world war 2 fighter pilot doesn't even come close to the level of expertise that these guys posess....
A sadly misinformed statement. Military aircraft in peacetime are subject to the same rules and regulations as civil ones....
And if you have any known alergies to drugs you will already have taken the precaution to have documentation on your person to show it.
So long as it's optional, I have no complaint. The person who tries to force into me will find himself stucking food through a straw for several months.
If you stall an aircraft at 30000 feet, you have several minutes to get it out of a stall, not to mention the enormous amount of potential energy that wants to accellerate your craft back to flying speed. If you stall it at 100 feet, you're almost certainly going to hit the ground.
To bring this thread back on topic:

Yes, but does that still apply when you have 3 aircraft swooping round in close formation?
This was the most worring aspect to me. If they were to collide, glide ratios wouldn't come into it.
To my mind, if you are going to do arial stunts, doing them over a field has got to be better than doing them over a built up area.

IIRC, an attempt to overcome restrictions imposed by racing regulations, rather than a genuine advance in design. Of course, some early steam engines had oval pistons, but that was only because the blacksmiths of the time considered 1/4 inch to be a close tolerance.

load and clear.
It's a testament to the design and build of them that they can fly in conditions that would render our aircraft scrap.
So it made it across ok but after the RAF had a go at fixing it!
That's not beer that's stout, besides that Japanese make the best beer.
Too think virtually every country in the world brews some form of beer and there will be people saying that each brews the best (apart from the USA who couldn't brew a decent pint if there lives depended on it and the rest of the world knows it.)
I'd be happy if anyone could point out the bad guys and give some form of evidence they are indeed bad not just different in a small way.
LOL..I see what you're saying...It would still be sitting on the pans at Aldergrove now if they hadn't fixed it....
LOL...It's true....Their forces have this stuff that they take out to the Gulf or places where alcohol is banned with them....It's not unlike our non-alcohol lagers like Kaliber etc....
Thing is, they have the nerve to call it "Near Beer".....
It's about as near to beer as I am to an olympic athlete.....
Having said that, I've tasted American beer, and by their standards I suppose it actually is pretty near beer....
Some popular American brews aren't too bad, Coors and Budweiser, for example. America also has quite a few small specialist breweries which sometimes turn out quite passable imitations of the real thing.
For the best beers in the world, though, the Belgians and the Germans take some beating. The Japanese aren't even in the same league IMHO.

And of course good ole ozzie beer fosterised the world, aint that just a fact
Well, I'm sure there's no need for swearing ;-)
Do you also believe that it is OK for the police to stop and search anyone they want to - after all, if you've got nothing to hide why would it bother you? How about the police searching your home? Nothing to hide, nothing to worry about.
Of course ID cards will help to solve crime - after all the criminals are bound to carry their ID cards when on a job and might drop one! Clearly no-one will ever think of forging ID cards, that would be far too difficult.
As for stealing ID cards, wouldn't the criminal consider that too risky? They might get given the wrong medication after getting hit by a bus (or shot by the police).
We all know that our police force, government and civil service are completely incorruptible (uncorruptible?) so all law-abiding citizens should be happy to make any and all personal information available to them at all times - nothing to hide, nothing to fear.
I always thought that Adolph did the same thing in Holland ( using pre war confidential census to help identify race) Mind you the dutch govt who promised that it would be confidential probably meant it.
It appeared to me that the thread had progressed beyond the specific case that started it. However, even a Spitfire has an ASI.

Which light aircraft engines have those? The most advanced engine monitoring device on anything I have flown was an exhaust gas temperature gauge. I must admit I'm not up on modern diesel engines nor on some of the slightly odd things that go into homebuilds, but then I don't really trust homebuilds enough to want to fly one.
The pilots flying the BoB flight are, however, highly skilled and have the added advantage of loving the aircraft.
...
I don't think that the term congested area is specifically defined anywhere.
Military aircraft in peacetime, unless they are in a designated low flying area, or in certain other situations, such as on the approach to an airfield, are supposed to stay above 250 feet. Police helicopters, OTOH, are exempt from the low flying rule.
