Re: Real or photoshop??!
I really do think these bits of kit look awesome! Liebherr tackle always looks so much more beefy and better made than most other manufacturers!

Re: spitfire pictures
I would imagine that the crashed spit will Be a total rebuild now! The damage to the wings will probably be extensive too!! Yeah the Blackhorse spitfire was streamed live on YouTube!
