Don't the Brits like their beer warm?  I suspect the Spit is just transporting it.

I know some of our boys would take the bear up to 20,000+ using their F4Us in the Pacific. Cold beer in the South Pacific must have been a Godsend.

We should have this option available in the AH hanagar. The public demands it!

Johnny Johnson's "Wing Leader" recounts his unit fixing up a Spitfire to transport beer.  This could be it.
