Any idiot can face a crisis - it's day to day living that wears you out.

Hello, the Mustang is the airplane that saved Europe--along with the B-17. If you would watch our History Channel you would be more aware of how the U.S. of A. totally rescued you.

Note: The Mustang used a Rolls-Royce engine design. It is somewhat confusing to us Americans why this was the case, but obviously somebody made a small mistake along the line. Ford could have come up with something better, undoubtedly...

This is called "sailing close to the wind".

We're on the BoB flight's regular route to biggin and other places, so we normally see them quite a bit over the summer. But we've had a lot of low cloud this year and so I can only remember seeing the Spits a couple of times, the hurricane once.

But I don't remember seeing a Mustang ever, I guess it's cos I don't associate it with the BoBF so I don't look for it.

I was only looking because I thought it must be the hurricane, or the spit coming back, it sounded mostly similar, but a bit different.
