Q fr @aisb23 Did you ever fly a Spitfire? I know your opinion of the RAF is not high but what about their planes? A: Spitfire not great. P-51 was able to take the war to Germany

He’s right about the Mustang With extra tanks it had the range. But he’s wrong about the Spitfire brilliant plane RR Merlin engines and the RAF heroes every one of them
You didn't fly either. No one asked your opinion - get your own forum

Get your own forum? It's Twitter and your opinions are public to the world. Right or wrong, the spitfire is a national icon for the British, and many British airmen fought for years to keep their country safe using the craft. I'm not saying you're wrong, but think abt it.

The Spitfire...... feared by the Germans, but doesn't impress the American.
Says more about the American, me thinks.

Difficult not to have huge respect for you general, but the fact it turns out your a grade a Cockwomble is starting to balance that out for me. This is a public forum by the way, like it or not it ain’t Chuck land!

Does it matter that quite a few people that have ACTUALLY flown the Spitfire have confirmed his opinion of it? Iconic aircraft, but on the uncontrollable side? Ah yes. Cause ‘British’.
