Spitfire Delivering Beer!

Post by cflord »

13 June 1944: An English brewery donates a sizable amount of fresh beer for the troops fighting in Normandy and a unique delivery method is created, strapping kegs to the underwings of Spitfires being shipped to forward airfields. Flying at 12 000 feet chills the brew to perfection.

Evidently, Customs and Excise got wind of it and so they had to get more creative.
