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.II was built in Castle Bromwich incorporating improvements based on Mk.I combat experience, including a constant speed propeller and additional protection for the pilot and systems. Only a few arrived in time for the Battle of Britain.
