Can we have our old Spitfire Mk. Vc back?

The 2 are unrelated.

Not sure why the bomb was removed but I suspect it was the same reason as on the E-4 -- to represent more of the pure fighter v fighter war of the time.

Gondolas just weren't used on 109Fs. A very small percentage had the proper wing modifications from the factory, and even then that doesn't mean they used them. It was really a testing phase and was used after that (so use the G-2 -- very similar in handling to F4 and the extra speed makes up for the loss in speed when you have gondolas -- making it juts about as fast as the F4 without gondolas)

About 200 f-4  came out from the factory with gondola packages. Not to mention field pakages. Gondies and an egg should be offered on the f-4 and an egg should be offered on the e-4.

 Here is a lazy Spitfire post. Didn't the Spitfire MKIIa have a fuel injection system to replace the carburetor but still have eight 303 machine guns on it and a bit more horse power? I think it was in service at the end of the Battle of Britain. It was not produced at Southhampton but at Castle Bromwich factory. I guess I could look it up but where is the fun in that. Anyway in may be nice to have a Spitfire with eight 303s that didn't stall out with negative Gs.
