Yes, by all means include the GT6. I always considered the GT6 as "just
another Spitfire but with a permanent hard head and 50% more cylinders. :-)
Yup, gonna have to get my "ground crew" to paint my "kills" on the side of
the cockpit.

Since the GT6 is an offspring of the Spitfire [even if its parentage may
be in question :) ], I vote to let the GT6's participate in the evolving
club. Heck, we might even give them their own class in the competitions
we hold (nudge, nudge, wink wink)
