| The Spit looks cool in a sleek, dartlike kind of way. The Corsair looks cool in a robust, powerful, "Get the hell outta my way, 'coz here I come!" kind of way.  |

| Yeah right!  As much as I love the Lancaster, I have to say it didn't exactly look refined or dignified. Well, maybe the ones built in Canada. :-"  |

| hey, whilst the corsair might say "Get the hell outta my way, 'coz here I come!", the spit is more likely to say "move out of my way young man, you don't want to trifle with me".........

| The Spit looks gay with all those soft lines, while American (and German) fighters ouse (sp??) masculinity. |
