Beat me to it

Just got these back from the chemists 1/2 an hour ago. I should have gone on Sunday looking at your pics, low cloud all day Saturday combined with Wad's bad-from-a-photographers-POV South facing display made for not the greatest of pictures. A few A2A pics from Saturday:

Some late production Spitfire IX's had bubble hoods, spit XIV did too, as did XVI + postwar spits. Probably more wartime versions had them too.
