I have a great smiley that could be used here, but I think this thread would end up on the Admin board ;D

Just to add a bit more Pythinesque humour to the story, guess what Mk of Spitfire it is...

lol, watch out UK, we might have to send P-51's and B-17's to retaliate against this clear act of retro-war!  Someone break out the flak!

We've already got them... ;) ;D

Anyway, they wouldn't get here - US customs at Houston would impound them. ;) :)
