Apparently this is in response to a long kept secret goal of the US Space Program which is to find Doug’s leg that went missing in 1941.
The story, as I’ve heard it, is that the Spitfire part has an almost supernatural but scientifically proven electro-magnetic force field which will attract the leg, which was first noted in Earth orbit by astronaut Scott Carpenter in Mercury 5. It was the sudden appearance of the leg, fortunately sans its famous owner that caused Carpenter to over expend the fuel supplies for the directional thrusters.
NASA have kept this a closely guarded secret because they were afraid that the Russians would reclaim the leg for humanity. Krushchev had intended to use it at the now infamous UN meeting when he used a shoe pounded on the table to make his point about whatever it was that was exercising him that day.
It is also a well kept secret that the leg was foremost in Neil Armstrong’s mind when he said “That’s one small step for a man, one giant leap for mankind”.
Another well kept secret is that the layout of the International Space Station is an exact replica of the upstairs of the Stork Hotel in Liverpool where some claim that Doug was seen in 1942.
I am proposing to start a new web site to openly explore these various theories. Some of this is based on soon to be released documents from NASA which show conclusively that the Moon is not made of cheese. Instead it is a large figment of our collective imagination triggered by the bizarre severing of a Spitfire’s tail in 1941 which created a rift in the Cosmic fabric, and which also generated the mysterious appearance of secret German airfields in the east of England.
At this time the CIA has informed me that I cannot reveal what caused the face to appear in the nose of that Lancaster.
I could go on.

I’ve heard that the Shuttle about to take off in Florida has a small piece of the world’s most famous Spitfire being carried in it – MH434!
Would this be the Merlin in place of those dodgy Shuttle engines or have they worked out that Mitchells wing design is better for re-entry.

Spitfires in Space
Possibly to place beside the Liberator that was found on the moon a few years ago:confused: :confused:
