Spitfires won the Battle of Britain.
Whilst they were in the minority, they had a notably higher kill ratio than the Hurricane. In such a close run fight, that would have made the difference, it could all have turned out like the Battle of France otherwise.

Just majestic. A triple salchow followed by a camel spin then an upright double. That's an easy 9.5 in the eyes of the judges and I can't wait to see him compete in next year's Winter Olympics.

Journalist, screenwriter, film critic, photographer - and pioneer aviator. (And maybe, very briefly, a model.) The amazing Harriet Quimby, whose 150th anniversary was this year.

As if leaving me with another submarine that now can't sink, to go with all the ships that now don't float, the Ukrainians even hacked our surveillance cameras so we filmed their attack for them.

Whilst on the subject of the Blackburn R.1, I'll treat you all a bit more with this.
If I owned it, it would be hanging from my living room ceiling when not being flown. A fantastic model.
