now I really like the sound of that one. any others with cool names? sorry, I like hearing you talk about this.
-🍷 (ooc: anything else would've gave it away too quickly I apologise :p)
I don’t mind at all! I don’t have any patients today, so this is definitely better than doing nothing.
Now, the Fairey Firefly IIM was a fighter of the 1930s. It was a single-seat, single-engine biplane of all-metal construction. They didn’t serve for very long, only being in service for a month, but that doesn’t make them any less important. Its max speed was 175 mph (282 km/h) at sea level, but 223 mph (359 km/h) at about 4,000 m.
