The RAF in Suffolk

The best known to me is "Jersey Jerk" the ride of Donald Strait who used the same name for his P51 Mustang. Don was the co of the 361st sq and the highest scoring Ace in the 356th Fighter Group, with 13 1/2 kills He finished as a Major General and still visits us here at MH

I believe he is about 80 years old.

Can some informed member explain please

I was told by an ex RAf Thunderbolt pilot that if needed they could get a sudden sput of energy similar to the KERS system in F1 by injecting water into the engine. In an emergency this could get them out of trouble. It did however do the engine any good and was not to be used willy nilly

How did this work please.
