During WWII, several pilots, including Johnnie Johnston, used Spitfires and other aircraft to carry kegs of beer to the squadrons based in France. This practice wasn't exactly stimulated by the powers that be, to put it mildly ...
Once I found out that there is a 1:24 diecast model of such a 'beer truck', I of course had to add one to the collection!
As to the pilot in the cockpit of the model, could it be Johnnie Johnston himself??
