Or some of this?
It comes with the chance to fly in a Spitfire, too? Enter before 30 September! Link: Spitfire Ale - Flight Opportunity
PS: Rule No. 1 of the competition: "This Promotion is open to residents of United Kingdom aged 18 or over, excluding employees of the Promoter, their families, agents or anyone else professionally connected with this promotion." Link: Terms and Conditions Darn!

The last bottle of Spitfire has been unloaded from my fridge some weeks ago

As would I.
Real Ale-wise we also have Lancaster Bomber in the United Kingdom. It tastes similar to Spitfire Kentish Ale and all in all is a very nice tipple.
I bet those are not the only limitations when it comes to what happens after somebody has won the Fly A Spitfire competition: The one mentioned by Mike in Posting #2. You have height and weight restrictions for starters even if it is to fly one of the two-seater Spitfire Mk IXT trainer aircraft. There are also certain medical conditions which could possibly put an end to flying a Spitfire which is a shame. But one has to remember that the winner is sitting in an enclosed space which will no doubt be put through semi-aerobatic flight (such as steep turns) and of course has to be able to reach the control column and pedals at the same time!
I will see if I can find a picture of a bottle of Lancaster Bomber ...
Thought I would check our local specialist that carries over 1200 bottled beers.

They have 35 from England, but not such luck on these.
Maybe I will see about Special Order ...
No, but we do have the full selections of Bear Grylls beers -- Pale Ale; Stout; Dark Amber; Hard Lemonade....
Tho' for some reason, no one will touch them.... >;)
Just googled 'em, Barry, at www.airfieldwines.com and they have in their 'reds' section bottles of Mustang, Spitfire, and Hellcat wines, as well as a Flygirl White wine that has a label similar in style to the Bombshell Red...
They are out of Washington State, so I will have to look around for them here in Ohio - of course they do ship, so I can always order from the source...they have some nifty trinkets in their store, too.
Thanks for the heads-up on them!
All the best,
Matt
I don't believe my luck ... My local convenience store across the road is currently selling bottled Spitfire Premium Kentish Ale and was until recently selling Lancaster Bomber.
If I top 1000 Postings (Sorties Flown) today I'll treat everybody to a of Spitfire at the bar in the Mess - this for me is #985
