Aircraft Data

The Spitfire was the RAF's first all metal stressed skin single engine fighter. It was produced from 1938-47 serving throughout WW2 and on into the 1950s in a series of increasingly capable versions. Over 40 examples are still airworthy world wide.

The Mk.XIV was based on a Mk.VIII married to a Griffon 65 engine. Points of difference to Merlin Spitfires included a 5 blade prop, larger vertical tail surfaces, and in later production, a bubble canopy.
