Re: harmonising the guns

I had the guided tour at the Battle Of Britain Memorial Flight a few years ago. Very good stuff. One thing that stayed with me was the fact about just how little ammunition Spitfires and Hurricanes actually had. In the moves you'll see the pilots firing a number of relatively lengthy bursts during dogfights - in reality they had maybe 4 or 5 seconds of total trigger time at best.
