Summary

[edit]
Description
English: Supermarine Spitfire a British single-seat fighter aircraft used by the Royal Air Force and many other Allied countries throughout the Second World War and champion of the Battle of Britain, in the National Museum of Flight in East Fortune, East Lothian, Scotland.

This airplane is a Vickers Supermarine Spitfire LF.XVIe, built in 1945 (TE462 (7243M) c/n CBAF-IX-4596). It is derived from the externally similar LF.IXe, the principal difference being the installation in the Mark XVI of an American Packard built Merlin engine. Unfamiliar features in this tpe are the blown 'bubble' canopy and clipped wingtips, enabling the aircraft to roll much more quickly.

Museum Number T.1971.20
