To paraphrase a quote from a British sportswriter years ago, it's not surprising that Germany would defeat Britain at its national game, since Britain defeated Germany at its national game in 1918 and 1945.

Now that is funny!

I guess when flown by the RAF even Hellcats wouldn't have stood ... let's not go there!

That Spitfire probably only ran out of gas after having downed four German fighters in an assault frenzy.

Was there any back-info where you found that pic...? after all, she got down intact, and in those days, "Any landing you can walk away from..."  ;)

I found that pic long ago, no info. She certainly still looks good, I see no bullet holes - a crash landing as opposed to a crash. The countryside looks suitably British.

Possibly, the RAF pilot was just late for tea time and took a shortcut.

The English (and Germans) are the beer drinkers (which just doe not taste the same chilled - you lot - my USofA bretheren - just don't drink the same stuff, all that chilled gassy muck... :vader:), now the Scot's drink malt whisky, and none of that blended muck, either...

At least there are some decent American bourbons... ;)

Must be the hint of Redneck in your soul, Dada... ;)

Ma'am... as you may know, Germany is famous for their Lager-biers, but the dark-biers (sorry Uwe, don't know name, been a long time) are something else... When we were in KY (my family, not the jelly), Jackie's late uncle uncorked a bottle of THE... GOOD... STUFF...  I swear it was as good as some of the finest malt whiskies I've ever tasted - just crystal clear... Unfortunately for my drinking possibilities, they lived in a dry county... and as for your drinking capabilities, I'm not sure I would survive one of your parties, intact... ;D
