[Mr. Lucky]

I can't help it, but an article about the RAF attacking enemy tank formations conjurs up the image of Supermarine Spitfires diving out of a cloudbank, machineguns blasting. Together, we kicked ass in that war (over German and French objection) too,

Spitfires were rarely used for ground attack; it was Hurricanes, and then Typhoons.
