Wow this is a great thread…Really…

A mate of mine is a Spitfire veteran,Sicilly,Italy and Burma and he has been in combat and been fired upon.Last thing you worry about is your plane falling apart.You will push it and yourself to the absalute limits and quite often over it to stay “alive”.Flying Hf MkIX,s in Burma he and a few others came back from there first sorties with the Spits with wrinkled wing skins due to pulling out of dives against Japanese planes.As they say…”everything in the left hand corner”…

Woohooo,one of these threads.

And dependent on pilots skill.A superior pilot can get the most out of a substantially worse plane vs a poor pilot in a better performing plane.A war weary plane flies worse than a new version too.Also include luck into the equation this is one of those questions that need to be very specific in asking.;)

Wheeling around…

Great stuff.Apparently along similar lines a company down the range bought a lot of old Spitfire/Kittyhawk/Boomerang wheels from the clearence sales after the war and put them on new build Hay carts.Still a couple of them around I,ve heard.Farmers used the oleo,s for hydraulic rams as well.We are an inventive lot us colonials…
How is the Spitfire inner tube dramas progressing Fluffy?:cool:

Been trying to find the special code for them….

Wasn,t it called the Wellington Mk II “Slinkey”,otherwise known as the “Flying Accordian”?…..
Cheers mate.Thought that was the case and that the Hallifax,Stirling,Albacores and C47,s did all the work.A virtual beer for you mate….;)
