Looking at "WING LEADER" today while listening to a discussion on Fox News about naming the new Royal British baby, a form of the name "John" came up in a humorous way on the program. This event got me thinking how great it would be if the RAF Prince father were to honor the top-scoring Allied fighter pilot of WWII Air Vice-Marshal "Johnnie Johnson" and the heroic Few to whom so much is owed by so many by including "Johnnie" in the new Royal Brit's names. What a boost for Spitfires if such a thing were to come to pass.
Merlin65, thank you for that priceless Spitfire video history. It brought tears to my eyes.
ChronologicallyChallengedScaleGuy, I continue to enjoy my Spitfire Brotherhood cap every time I fly regardless what I fly. It just sort of seemed sad that you were down to your last cap. Hopefully, at some point in the future when the membership continues to grow there will be a market for them again. In addition to my "post signature" used on other forum threads I also faithfully advertise the Spitfire Brotherhood with my dandy T-shirts on all missions.
Breaking off the attack now.
Out.
