Spitfire carrying beer kegs?!?

Slightly off topic, but evidence that this was not confined to Commonwealth Forces. When stationed at the airfield in Hildesheim, West Germany (the airfield that the Eben-Emael raid was mounted from - and in my time aka Tofrek Barracks) there was in the cellar of the Officers Mess (the Officers Club in Luftwaffe days) a rather well done caricature of Goering sitting astride a fighter plane (aloft) with a keg of beer under each arm. The picture was apparently preserved as of historical interest and we were not allowed to deface or paint over it (so I was led to believe).
