On the precept that the number 16 is higher than the number 14, so it must be better?
Bit of news -
Spit 16 is a Spit 9 with a Merlin engine made in the USA.
Could have just as easily been tagged Spit LF IXe instead of Spit XVI.
In fact take the 50cals off it, it is a 1943 LF IX, same motor, airframe.
Spit 14 is a Griffon engine Spit.
Easy timeline -
1943 - Spit IXc fitted with Merlin 66, redesignated LF IXc
1944 - 'e' wing (50cal and 20mm) introduced
1944 - Spit LF IXc with 'e' wing redesignated LF IXe
1944 - Packard produces Merlin 66 in the US with model name Merlin 266
1944 - Spit LF IXe with US Merlin 266 redesignated Spit XVI
If you think they are very equal - try the AvA next week when both become available. (14 will be free)
