What's the classic old joke about the Dutch pilot who'd flown as a volunteer in the RAF during WWII. He'd come across the channel to visit old flying buddies. One of them suggested that he visit his grand daughter's school and give them a talk about flying in the war. So he goes in and tells the story of the fighter sweep he made over the Dutch coast when he got wounded. "Ve vas vlying offur deh coost ven vee was yoomped by seex German vokkers. I zhot doun one, den anoother heat me in my sheen. My veengmen chayzed off dee oother vokkers and I mayed it back to Biggin Heel." The teacher pipes up, "during the war many German pilots flew planes made by Fokker," to clarify. "Ja," says the Dutchman, "but deez vokkers vas vlying Messerschmeets." |

In the version I heard, the pilot was Polish. |

In the version I've heard the pilot was an upper class Englishman with a plummy accent. |
