Doubletap, given the choice of landing a lightweight replica Spitfire wheels up on an airfield when I'm good and ready and have had time to try a few options, or have to immediately land a Sea Fury sans power, I know which crisis I'd prefer to face...

I've seen pics of three British Sea Furies that have force landed in fields after engine failures, all were a mess.
