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.XI was a photo reconnaissance development of the Mk.IX. It featured the leading edge of the wing being modified to form a fuel tank as well as a camera installation.
