This is how wing walking was invented! Wing walkers used to have to run from side to side when the plane was turning to balance it out.
Fact of the Day: The Spitfire is so light that when it is windy the crew have to sit on its wings to prevent it from being blown away. #AvGeekpic.twitter.com/lJCO9JUZJf

Ah the brave men of 69 Squadron. Motto: VENI VIDI VICI. For those of you not fluent in Greek that translates as CAME SORE CONKERED.

Little known fact, when the Spitfire went out of active service in the 50s, the crew had to find alternate employment and many went on to help build New York City.
