Emergency flotation gear, like the man says!

SASless!

We agree on something! Faster than a Spit at low level, four 20-mm cannon well concentrated, and a joy to fly, I'm told. And capable of roaming far out into sausage side. Imagine if we'd built a Whirlwind instead of every Blenheim and Battle? The damage we could have done to the German war machine and the much reduced losses.....

A sobering thought.
