Just remember that the Spit carried the most important cargo of the war. Talk about beautiful curves

Bronk. Even better was getting to know the Spit XII drivers of 41 Squadron way back when at RAF Coltishall in 1986. Sadly it's been 20 years since this photo was taken and a number of those Spit drivers are no longer with us.

One of my all time favorite pictures as they let me in the photo. Talk about heaven for a then much younger Spit dweeb

Psst!

The 16 was just a 9 with an American made Packard Merlin 266. It was not a later Griffon engined bird like the XIV and 21.

Should really read

Spit I/II
Spit V/VI
Spit VII/VIII
Spit 9/16
Spit XII
Spit 14
Spit 21

That's if we're talking the wartime fighter variants

A nice looking bird regardless of the variant.

Anyone got some decent pics of bubble canopy versions please?

I just love the way the wing blends into the fuselage.

Also noticed this watching the program where they had pilots trying out to fly the Gracy trainer spit 9 is that the hood is pretty flat and wide at the top. I guess you dont see many pictures of that angle.
