A fascinating read Teekay – I’m surprised no-one else has commented on this…..Flying Vampires & Meteors, would you have been at a disadvantage given (I suspect) the slow to respond early jet engines compared with a piston engined fighter?

Yes, those early jets were indeed slow to respond, but I don’t think it mattered when attacking bombers, although maybe on occasion in a dogfight.

Sorry, don’t have any photos of the Lincolns etc.
