Time and time again we see this most important single factor in the performance of any aircraft ignored in discussions. Everyone knows that a Spitfire I can out turn a Bf 109 E and that the Messerschmitt pilot would be ill advised to fight in the horizontal, right? Well, for the two...

RAF Museum handed over Spitfire in 'ill-conceived' deal for WWII aircraft it may never receive. Museum bosses admit they 'paid' a salvage team a Spitfire worth £200,000 to recover an aircraft found intact in the Sahara Desert 70 years after it crashed. A valuable Spitfire has been lost to the...

Hello, Here is one of my projects: Spitfire IX EN190 flown by Colin F. Gray during March and early April 1943. But I've a problem..... :( Sources differ regarding the code of EN190: some says FL A and other says FL K... I found both on the web...!!! My opinion: I think EN190 was coded FL A...
