This picture was obviously taken in the winter.  Otherwise they would have shucked their duds.

Classic story from one of the Spitfire XII guys I got to know.  They were awaiting delivery of their first XII.  It was the first Griffon engined Spit and was supposed to be more of a beast to fly. 

They watched as it curved in nicely and touched down without a problem before rolling to a stop.  Out popped a female ATS pilot, promptly skewering the egos of the hotshot fighter pilots watching.

Lots of women flew the Spit.  Carolyn Grace owns her own Spit 9 in England.

Reference the OP photo.

No wonder Spit16s are difficult to hit.  Too many guys are firing prematurely.

That's the original Top Gun cast.  Last minute they swapped for Cruise and Kilmer.  Figured, close enough.
