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."
