That's new info. I understood that Mk XVIIIs had high backs.
Thanks for the info Dowding.

Its a Spit XIVE. The two red things inside of the canons should be outside of the canons of it were a Spit XIV.
Spit XIVc had high back and similar canon arrangment to standard XIV. Standard XIV did not have high back.

I think all the XVIIIs had the bubble canopy, but I wouldn't swear to it.
That picture is certainly SM845, an FR XVIII, though.
A google search for "RAF Waddington airshow" found this picture:

as you can see, it's the same plane from a different angle (not as nice a pic).
The S was a guess, but the rest of the serial is clear.
A google search for SM845 found this:

Your welcome, Karnak. Although I believe Nashwan came up with the information not me. I know very little about the different Mks.
