Spitfire F.Mk IXs like the early Mk IX in AH didn't have the wing points for bombs, those came with the "e" wing.  Spitfire LF.Mk IXe and HF.Mk IXe had the hard points.  I'd need to see some documentation that the "c" winged Spitfire LF.Mk VIII had hard points on its wings.

Probably the most welcome 'bombload' in history was 'Modification XXX', the pair of large beer barrels carried to Normandy on the underwing bomb-racks of Spitfire Mk.IX MJ329 soon after D-Day. Can I have this as a loadout to supply refreshment to DuxWing's forward elements?

The question isn't "should Las have DTs" but rather "did they ever use them in combat" -- because C2s had DTs, but as far as I can tell never used them because their missions were short range and localized. Same with the Soviet Air Force, short range missions.

Maybe they COULD carry them... but did they ever?

don't make this thread about LA DT's or i'll be taking names    :D

back to it the 2nd TAF when harrassing the Germans back to their lines used bombs on their Spits! 

between 1941-44 plenty were used on rhubarbs.
