Just to add to that Greg.....Although the Spit is the most talked about and the symbol of the Battle of Britain, there were far more Hurricanes used and sorties flown than Spitfire. The Hurri was not a bad fighter by any means but it was not the match of the Spitfire. The Spitfire caught the imagination of the people though, sadly also the leader of this particular promo as well.
Obviously he knew that radar played a greater part than either plane (along with a few disastrous decisions on the part of Hitler et al, but he says he didn't think radar was as "sexy." He's right of course but sticking a toy radar tower up their collective asses would be more fun than an inflatable Spitfire.
But I am with the Fool there.....Where do I get one???(:<))
