Thats a Spit VIII.  The Aussies of 475"Grey Nurse" Squadron used those sharkmouths in the Pac.

Images of 457 Spit VIIIs flying out of Morotai in 1945.  The owner of that restored Spit VIII used his own initials instead of  the ZP codes of 457 RAAF

So lets hope that we get a tall tailed LF IX that would fit the profile :)

The Mk VIII was a better plane than the IX,
However, the boosted-up LF IX spits would be THE thingie for AH.
It was very interesting to carry out the flight trials at Rechlin with the Spitfire and the Hurricane. Both types are very simple to fly compared to our aircraft, and childishly easy to take-off and land. (Werner Mölders)
