P51
I wonder if some clever chappy could win me a beer please. The local bar boor, who I am beginning to suspect is a Billy Bull****ter to boot...was waxing lyrical about planes as is his want....
he went on about Griffon engined P51's....before I remembered to keep my gob shut I said I thought they were Merlin engined and that Shacks had Griffons fitted....(how many times when growing up did Dad recite "the Mighty roar of the Griffons Four"?)
an arguement ensued...he also claimed a P51 in Korea is the only propeller engined plane to shoot down a jet..
have checked Wiki (that font of all things inaccurate) and a few other links and can see nothing about either the shooting down or Griffon powered P51's....
before I go and tell him he is full of ****e I thought maybe someone on here could say if he is correct..
than you for your patience...
