HW: Calvert reference?

[trev]

the tf starfighter was nothing compared to the english electric lightning 
p1b, which had similar speed but was far more manoeverable and could fly in 
all weathers. over 100 german pilots were killed in starfighters during 
non-combat flights

i'm thinking of putting on a judge fest this year

why doesn't coleman just shuttup completely?
