CROSSFIRE BOOSTER.

[Flying Officer Kyte]

First a thank you to the people who let me know what I could do to get my Biff off the ground. My Crossfire pack arrived from the States today, and is all I could wish for. The variety of options on the Biff cards cover all the bases, and The pack also contains a handy card that gives a quick reference to the climb rate of most of the aircraft together with ceiling heights. All in all a very good buy, and still no sign of it in England yet. Nigel Bouncer-Smythe and Kyte will fly again.:)

Hi Olt. The "Biff" is the nickname given to the Bristol F 2B fighter by the R.F.C. pilots. It later came to be known as the Brisfit although this was not commonly used at the time. Much the same as the Fairy Swordfish in W.W.2. was affectionately known as the"Stringbag". Hope this clarifies the matter.:)
