OT Spitfire and the BBC reporting
We were somewhere around Barstow, on the edge of the desert, when the
drugs began to take hold. I remember Guy King
saying something like:
The message
from Grimly Curmudgeon contains
these words:
At the end of the war the Spit itself was becoming out-classed by the
likes of the Mustang.
Only 'cos we gave 'em proper engines.
Yep. The Allison was ****e.
