I naturally cannot vouch for its complete accuracy, but it seems to sound true. What do our Members think? Especially those with a good knowledge of the "system".

On the theme of modifications it is only a pity that the self sealing fuel tanks were not made available during the Battle of Britain which would have ultimately saved many pilots from horrific burns. :((

I think even Tom Neil in his book 'Gun Button to Fire' made a reference about wishing that self sealing tanks were fitted when flying during the Battle of Britain.
