Not fair, GR4 thingy.

Everyone knows the limitations of the F3. It is a classic committee-designed aircraft. But the fact remains that those crews spent many hours in a hostile environment (and even the mighty US kit has suffered some losses) where they were away from their families, and at risk from enemy air defences as well as accidents.

Good on you lads. Nobody belittles the poor brave sods who died in unsuitable machines early in WW2, and in the same way we should be proud of the F3 crews.
