Man this thread is better than the final fight scene between Rocky and Clubber Lang 😮 . Bl**dy right too – nothing would get done if you were all a bunch of nambie pambies !
The attacking Spitfire’s I believe reacted and responded to Sailor Malan’s cry of ‘Tally Ho!’ and went for it. At the Court of Enquirey Malan denied calling Tally Ho, and was promoted. There is a good account in an autobiography and I can’t for the life of me recall the title or the author, but he was fuming 60 years later and questioned Malan’s integrity.
On reading a Free signed copy of Truthspeaker’s latest Book 🙂 (Thanks Dilip, cracking read), yes he was (plus his ASI was U/S and had been from Take Off 😮 , never knew that). As for the computer software, may work, but as one old Spit IX pilot I known always says ‘no two aircraft are the same’, hence any information you will get will be most likey worthless 😉 . All I have to do now is do a profile of the aircraft in question at A2 size, my old PII PC is going to be pushed 😮
Geoff Painting was lost to flak whilst attacking shipping below mast level. He went straight in. What a great kid. Only 7 years older than my eldest boy – now that makes you sit quietly and think, I can tell you.
