The exchange which particularly tickled me was when the delightful Danny posted at #6286 on
Gaining An R.A.F Pilots Brevet In WW11 , in response to a question from Typhoon about g forces in Spitfires :
"Typhoon93, (#6274)
No idea ! (No G meters in Spitfires). Reckoned to be 4 or 5G (and that was a guess, I think). The Spitfire two-tier rudder stirrups were designed to delay the onset (as your raised thighs would help a bit), and you clenched in your tummy muscles, but that was about all you could do.
I think I speak for many: with your Callsign, and aged 21 , are you perchance one of our Young Tigers ? .......D."
and Typhoon modestly replied at #6287:
"Danny, yes I am."
