Allegedly a Douglas Bader story....

courtesy of the Alan Clark Diaries...

Bader was giving a talk during assembly at a posh girl's school, and was recounting one of the many dogfights in which he was shot down....

"I had two f*ckers to the left of me, two fuckers to the right, another two f*ckers below, and one f*cker coming in from the sun"

At this point the headmistress interjected "I must inform you girls that there is a type of aircraft called a fokker spelled f-o-k-k-e-r"

"I don't know about that", said Bader, "this lot were all flying Messerschmitts"
