I'm not sure where that figure came from. I do remember seeing 367 mph coming up in an early test with a twin-pitch prop (7/12/39).Spitfires were only capable of 369 mph, and thus completely incapable of intercepting V1's
re "Spitfires were only capable of 369 mph, and thus completely incapable of intercepting V1's"
Perhaps he is thinking of the Spitfire Mk V. It was generally considered that the Vmax of the average Mk V - in operations - was around 360 mph for the Mk Vc to 370 mph for the Mk Vb.

Didn't the V-1 fly at low altitude?In theory neither could Mosquito fighters or fighter bombers, but they did. Sometimes by diving onto them, and some were fitted with nitrous oxide.
When the V-1s started coming over the main model Spitfire in the RAF was the IX and the XIV was in service.

Spit Vs were also used as arty spotters and air/sea rescue searches.A number of MK Vs were left, perhaps not many. No 234 squadron was still using MK vs through the summer of 1944 for ground attack. But as fighter bombers they would not normally have been used against V-1s. They did try to find V-2 launch sites around the Hague but weren't successful.
I am very relieved you chose a picture of this kind of moon.
