Exactly like the Proper Space Spitfire <link>, except is has its engine cowlings and gun access panels open, and undercarriage lowered, so all the naughty bits are clearly visible.
[marked-for-expiry], pun, echo.

You speak truer than you know. During the winter of
1943 it was discovered that open-weave stockings
(and, later, custom-made bags of the same material)
were very effective "snow chains" for fighter aircraft
which had to land on iced runways. |

Yes, but how did they know in the first place? Or maybe it is better not to know... |

It's a safe bet to think that the idea came from someone who was educated at one of the great English Public Schools. |

The practice may have originated from motorcycle
dispatch riders who, when faced with treacherously
muddy conditions, would sometimes take a strip of
fabric and wind it around the rim of their wheel
(that is, in and out spokes). |
