However it did get me thinking about stuff in fighters that shouldn't be there..

When the first Spitfires were flown into Malta they had no ammo in the wings, all the space was filled with cigarettes.

Then there were the Spitfires modified to carry beer kegs under the wings.

Same kind of thing in Helmet Lipfert's book with 109s but the drop tanks were filled with beer.

Yes that's also mentioned in Günther Rall's and few other JG52 pilot's books, but IIRC it was not drop tanks with beer but simply beer barrels fitted to drop tank hanger.
