A newbies impression of the 109 and spit

[WTE_Galway]

Be careful as that "doddle to fly" comment is assuming a fit flight trained RAF pilot moving to the type from something "horrible to fly" like a Gloster Gladiator.

Its very easy to assume doddle to fly means an unfit non-pilot could probably jump in and take it safely for a spin after a few hours training but that is simply not true. Otherwise we would train on Spitfires not Cessna's.
