The Spitfire is owned by Swedish company Biltema ( selling car-parts ), and they also own a P51D seen in video flying together with it.
And no, it did not have any kills this mission  :)

My ammo last for 6 Lancasters, or one Yak3.

LOL you are going to get the Spit 16 fans screaming for 4 cannons.  For some reason they've mocked it up with inboard cannon barrels in the 50 cal spot.

Talked with a friend about  spitfires on the phone yesterday, he assured me they had 12 cannons on it  :x

Imagine that AH pilots, Spit1-21s with 12 Hispano's .

But I asked on ch200 and the experts there said only 12 of these spits were in service.
Mosquito VI - twice the spitfire, four times the ENY.
