Burma to allow Spitfire excavations

[laklak]

That's 'cuz we had The Duke in the cockpit



Actually, in Flying Leathernecks the squadron was supposed to be flying Wildcats but they didn't have enough of them for the shots, so they used Hellcats instead. Later in the flick they got Corsairs.

Shit film.

Why do people have to use silly names for planes? Is there something childish about aviators?

And bikes are just as bad. The Honda Fireblade was an embarassment, even without the shopping bag paintwork. Just the name would have stopped me buying one.
I got a Triumph Trophy instead.

Although Triumph did do a Thunderbird at one time. ( to impress the yanks ).

"Spitfire was just the sort of bloody silly name they would choose" - R.J. Mitchell himself.

I hate to admit it, but the nazis did score on the style front. If not on decency.

The name Fokker was inspired.

Fokker was Dutch. He just designed aircraft for the Germans in WW I.

I hate having to burst that particular bubble for people.
