1: Chill out
2: The maths is remedial. A ballpark figure would be fine, there's no need to be a tit about it, we just pointed out that most of your aircraft were E4's and you've confirmed that (18 out of 23).
The logic and rules are clear but doesn't hit reality remotely. It's fine, we're (RAF) only asking because it was obvious and that's really to be expected. It just means that next week we'll fill our Spitfire II allocation first before anybody jumps in a Hurricane
Why don't you guys like the E1 anyway? It's got 1 minute of guns to spend on easy Hurricanes and is camouflaged. I'd take it.
@David, don't spoil it mate, I had to tell AVM Keith Park that we were bounced by a squadron or he'd send us all off to an OTU !
