The term "Gold" is from the Master-Media that is used for mass-production. When this master is ready the CD/DVDs are being mass produced.

The term is largely outdated in the days of downloadable content and beyond that, the production-cylcle of 2-3 weeks was also minimized due to better manufacturing methods, less production-failures and faster transportation.

A whole generation of pilots learned to treasure the Spitfire for its delightful response to aerobatic manoeuvres and its handiness as a dogfighter. Iit is odd that they had continued to esteem these qualities over those of other fighters in spite of the fact that they were of only secondary importance tactically.Thus it is doubly ironic that the Spitfire’s reputation would habitually be established by reference to archaic, non-tactical criteria.
