The Most Underrated British Plane of WW2?

I was recently asked "what British airplanes or accomplishments in WW2 are underrated?" There are quite a few, and one airplane in particular is at the top of my list. Obviously this is a matter of opinion, but I thought I would share my thoughts.

Dozens of British pilots became aces while flying this plane. It fought all over the world, has a good combat record, yet for some reason, just doesn't get the respect it deserves.

I also tie in a personal story from my childhood about my meeting a pilot of this plane. This video is in a very different format than normal for this channel. It's non technical, non scripted, no manuals, no charts, I'm just sharing my thoughts opinions, and some memories.
