>>>Before flying, we were fitted out with an Italian parachute, and there was much
good-humoured speculation as to whether it was better to die rather than be saved by an Italian 'chute. Our feelings
in the matter after the contraption had been fitted, and another binder wrapped over it to prevent it fouling
anything in the machine and opening prematurely, were that death would be a pleasant relief. Anyway, one cannot
imagine anybody getting much fun out of life if occasion should arise to use it, and sympathise with any
Italians who had to bale out in Abyssinia, for truly they must have been between the devil and the deep blue sea.>>>

Reportern/Engelsmännen trodde inte mycket på Italienska fallskärmar , eller?
