Flying through the 40's

In time I will type up my dad's manuscript of what it was like to fly and Instruct  during WW2 in Australia.

We were  flying to London  for Xmas. Some  40 years after the  War's end.

Permission granted, I decided  to take a stroll up to visit  the Captain.

"You flew  Spitfires!"  exclaimed the Boeing 747 Jumbo Captain  sitting bolt upright in his seat.

"Spitfires, eh?"  chipped in the Second Officer. "I was reading  something  about them only last week. What Mark of Spitfire  were they?"

'I trained on clapped-out Mark Vs, "I replied.

'But we were using Mark V 11s in operations against the Japanese in the Pacific."
