The post is a colorized photo of the South African ace “Sailor Malan”. He survived the war and returned to South Africa, where he actively fought the imposition of apartheid. When he died at 53 of Parkinson’s disease, the Sourh African government treated this war hero like dirt. Shameful.
I realized this rather quickly when comparing VR cockpits in DCS World between the Spit, P-51, and P-47. The 109 is a little bit more comfy… Just a bit…
Sailor Malan…
I’ve never seen a ‘roomy’ military cockpit.
Et le pic de survie accroché à la porte
That looks like a young Johnny Johnson in the seat!
I sat in a MKXV1…so cramped
Not build for comfort build for fighting
Man there was no protection that aluminum is like paper to a bullet.

Try wearing a 109 for size. That’s tight. On the other hand you could have a dance in a P47.
Men of steel are hard to find nowadays 🫡

Built for speed and maneuverability over comfort. It was less of you stepping inside it, but rather you putting it on, if that makes sense.
