Spitfire!

Look what came in the mail Friday. Who says blogging and/or begging doesn't pay? May I coin the phrase "blegging"?

Thank you, Alex.

Here's a photo of the real thing:


Coincidentally, this past week, I found video footage of Israeli Spitfires in action (click the link for the MPEG). These are 101 Squadron Spitfires in 1949. The bare-metal Spitfire you see taxiing in the clip is not Black 10. I think the airfield is Ramat David, but I'm not sure of that.

Totally works. Your immortality is assured.

Alas, a simple search on Google reveals that my idea was only a parallel, and later, invention.
