Re: date format

Can I make one plea in the imperial/metric debate

A Spitfire does not have an 11.23 metre wingspan or 7.7 mm Browning machine guns

Equally a Fw190 does not have 0.79" cannon

Please would people use the units that applied at the time, if you want to put the equivalent in brackets afterwards to aid comparison that is fine

The other day I read that Mustangs were fitted with 340 litre drop tanks with no sign of US Gals anywhere and it hurt, it really hurt
