If you could ask a WW2 RAAF spitfire pilot a question what would you ask?

[Jeff Short]

Grandpa is 96, flew spits in the pacific from 42 to 45 and is really chatty about the war lately, so WW2 forums, since I have run put of questions I thought I'd see if any of you folks had a question or two that might be interesting. Any ideas?

How long did he reguarly apply emergency boost for ? (anecdotally we hear that it was left on for far longer than the manual suggests, but I`d be very interested to
hear, as its something that the aces (who are sadly the only ones to write the books seem to almost never talk about).
