Thanks again, AF! Its hard to keep all the different permutations of the Spit separate and distinct!

It sure is mate - then there's the Seafire, similar basic aircraft, with different Mark numbers!! And just wait until you get into checking seial numbers, only to find a MkV became a MkIX which might have been diverted to a MkXIV !!! Bl**dy minefield !

RabidAlien · Sep 16, 2009

LOL Yeah. Just thinkin 'bout it makes my noggin hurt.

rochie · Sep 16, 2009

RA now you know why i just said spitfires, because i can tell a MKI/II from a MKV and a MK IXand maybe even a MKXIV but that about it

Heck, i can't even tell the difference between models of American planes like the B17 ("G" model is fairly easy, with that chin turret), P38, P51, etc...I sit here in awe as folks whip exact specs of each version of their fav plane off the top of their heads...but that in no way detracts me from enjoying them all! Great pics, especially love the Cat!!! Somehow those planes just feel more at home with cloudy, threatening skies overhead....

Cloudy threatening skies? That's a beautiful summer's day in Britain......!!! Yeah, b*ll*cks, it's what passes for summer these last two or three years!!
