"Off you go laddie, finest aircraft in the world. Just one thing, the throttle's a bit of a bugger, only controls the boost over about 0.1% to 40% of its movement and you can't get her down to idle, but you can cope with that can't you? Eh? Rolls Royce? Nothing to do with them its just the way Supermarine designed the throttle installation. We've asked them for an upgrade but everyone's working on Seafires now. Current spitties won't be changed."
