What is this "stamp" you refer to, some kind of euro socialist propoganda sticker?

Saw it and it was cool. Bit like that Dambusters thing they did last year, although the RAF cadets used a real spitfire this time.

Spitty 9 in the programme flew 177 missions and got a kill on D-Day..apparently - looked very, very cool - as were the interviews with all the ex pilots.

The spit used was actually credited with the 1st kill on D-day.
