From a 2017 newspaper article:
“Today marks the 35th anniversary of the death of Sir Douglas Bader and I couldn’t let it pass without this story about the RAF hero. He was giving a talk at an upmarket girl’s school about his time as a pilot in the Second World War. ‘So there were two of the f**kers behind me, three f**kers to my right, and another f**ker on the left,’ he told the audience. The headmistress went pale and interjected: ‘Ladies, the Fokker was a German aircraft.’ Sir Douglas replied: ‘That may be, madam, but these f**kers were in Messerschmitts.'”
Man, that one was funny when I was in Junior High.
Still funny, though. 😉
🤣
English pilots were a colorful lot in those days. 😁
