    Remember this arriving at Duxford. My friend asked the young American pilot what it flew like He answered, “It flies like what it is, a heap of crap.” Apparently we heard that two weeks later he was killed when another jet fighter landed on top of him as he waited on the runway at his base to take off. Good old Image Colin. – Ted
