"It's Unforgivable" (New BofB Quote Thead)

Transall no problem mate, most welcome. None of us know or remember everything I’m living proof of that

Thanks, Mike.

I had overlooked that. Indeed, being out turned would have been the kind of thing that upset Galland.:)

Best regards, Transall.

Hi,

I’ve often wondered why Galland would have said such a thing (“Give me squadron of Spitfires.”).
Weren’t the BF 109 and Spitfire of 1940 vintage roughly equals in performance?
I thought the only advantages that the Spitfire had over the BF 109 were ease of handling during landing and take-off, looks, and possibly it was easier to bail out of. Hardly things that Galland would have thought important.
The disadvantages of the Spitfire were its rifle caliber armament and the fact that the engine quit if they dived.
So, the RAF could have used the BF 109’s cannon better to shoot down the HE 111’s.
Did Galland just say it to upset his superiors then?

Any thoughts? TIA, Transall.

Both the spitfire and hurricane were more than capable of out turning the Bf 109

Sedan, Shirley? Not some school in Paris!

“For the uneducated amongst us, I will translate”

“He can’t believe the Sedan has fallen” “I can”

“Abbeville” !!!!

“Unless the Germans have got there first”

“All NCO’s report to me immediately”

“Haven’t seen him since my episode with a burning Hurricane”

“Bowler hat’s everyone”

Hmm…Angels One Five line:

“One pilot, one Hurricane, both slightly bent!”

Yep, realised that but couldn’t resist it as an intro.

How about:

“Woh is der RAF?”

Wrong film, right era..!

Elfin One calling, Elfin One calling

Hmm, Mirical of the low………..

Good man VA!

“Muck and filth everywhere, Mr Warwick. It’s like a pigsty!”
