First off, I have a few questions regarding the Spitfire Mk XIV, and other Griffin variants, along with the 109K4.

With that in mind, does anyone...
Most descriptions of the rushed production of the Spitfire 5 state that the two speed Merlins could not be accommodated because of their extra length. This is of course rubbish since the ever adaptable Spitfire easily accommodated the very much longer two speed two stage Merlins and even the two...
