Oooh, yes. And the matching ME109!

Jumpers for goalposts, Treackle toffee and Parkin on bonfire night. ( though bonfir night itself is arguably a result of Christianity, albeit again probably a highjacking of Samhein )

Matchstick models of the Eiffel Tower.

Men's Sheds.

Greasy spoon cafés.

The bacon roll.

That'll be the Messerschmitt Bf 109 (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bf-109)- sorry, it's a personal bug-bear...

In my defence it is 30 years since I built the thing.

I'm sure there was a Fokker Wulf of some type too.

Actually if we are being pedantic, the term "Me 109" was actually used in German documentation of the period.
