Too true, if the Germans had used Lucas parts in WW2 the war would have finished a few years early. |

| 1295828 | 2012-08-22 08:16:00 | All I have to say on this issue is that if we are to have a military, it is beholden upon us to resource them properly :( (We aren't) anything else is inexcusable IMO. If this should put me in the curious position of agreeing with Digby then so be it! ;) |

No matter what happens they could have been in something else. That fact is, its a warzone, people die, no matter what you dress them up in, that's the nature of the beast. |

| 1295831 | 2012-08-22 08:37:00 | In response to lurking, Very true, those planes were very superior in some ways to the messerschmitt BF109s. Those Hurricanes weren't bad either. | ChazTheGeek (16619) | ||
