Thoughts ?

I like the hubris of the narrator of the show- the statement that he makes that he wants to get to the bottom of the issue regarding 'once and for all' which one is better, the 109 or Spitfire.
LOL- like he is the first person ever to consider the argument and takes statements from LW pilots in WW2 and a few choice remarks from Spitfire pilots stating they respected the strengths of their opponent.
They were very different machines built with quite different methods- the remarkable thing about them both is that they were built with the latest aeronautical knowledge at the time and built for the same purpose- and that is reflected in their comparable performance despite their different construction.
Contrast that with the very different design philosophy chosen by the Japanese and Americans in the Pacific theatre- very long range and performance (Jpn) vs long range and ruggedness (USN) and you get the very different tactic needed to utilise them properly

the traditional 'full english' breakfast....

fried eggs
bacon
sausage
fried mushrooms
baked beans
fried bread
black and or white pudding
fried tomato
hash brown.......but this is an american infestation I believe and brings too much vegetable material into the mix.
toast
and a mug of milky tea

this breakfast crosses all class divides, even the most refined of our hoity-toit upper classes will succumb to a good greasy fry up.

I should really answer the original question, a typical breakfast is probably a McRon's sausage and egg McMuffin

@KG26_Alpha: thanks for sharing this, I did not have this video.
Found the whole documentary, it is a very interesting one! Some of the scenes (the LW bombing of the port) I had never seen before. Also other very interesting comments from the notes of the German pilots about the many Blenheim attacks at the LW airfields in France.
And the overall message that it is not true that "the Battle of Britain was won because Britain had the Spitfire" is great!

Also commentable that the moderator objectively states the reason for the mistaken first bombing of London despite Hitler's prohibiting order and the subsequent retaliation bombing of Berlin by the British.

To come back to the video extract you posted for feedback, I agree with the all parts I kept in memory. What I like most (and agree to it) is the English pilot's point that the Bf109 had the upper hand by being able to decide when he wanted to engage and when to disengage from a battle at his own terms.
This is how I fly online and with the exception of the Hurricane which requires some attention (and the SpitIIa which is a Tie-fighter toned down version right now) this is how it feels flying a Bf109 in CoD.

PS. By the way, the moderator clearly states that the 55sec ammo was for Bf109 machine guns.
