Thanks a lot,
Six Nifty .50s for the Spit list.

BTW, was the "Spitfire XI -- EN409 -- Prop/gear broke off in dive" the Spit used at A&AEE for compression tests during which S/L Mandrake? reached Mach 0.91? in dive and his Spit XI suffered just that kind of damage but he managed to land it without further damage. If so IMHO one cannot blame the poor Mk XI too much for not endure such a abuse better.
