As soon as any one of us can claim to have flown every type (more or less) then we will qualify to make any claim we want, Eric Brown has, which makes him the foremost authority, I know....He's British.....inevitably claims of National bias will creep in.
Brown said the MkXIV was his favourite wich doesn't surprise me, I saw a video a while back about a US warbird pilot, very experienced on P-51's etc, who took his first flight in a Griffon spit, the look on his face after said it all, it was like hed just been bedded by the Swedish womens beach volleyball team
