I choose Budweiser.
If you can get hold of some, then the Mark XXX depth charge is definately on-topic.

XXX Depth Charge (4.4%) - FESTIVAL SPECIAL
This name was used on official paperwork when beer was flown out to the D Day troops under the wings of Spitfires. This will be a refreshing golden bitter with a crisp citrus aroma.

Also, Shepherd Neame "Spitfire" can be found bottled in some UK supermarkets (http://www.spitfireale.co.uk/spitfire_ale.htm) - and is rather good too. Not sure if it is a descendant of the contents of the Mk XXX though!.

cheers
