Spitfire IX Loaded for Bear

[MIflyer]

Reportedly, with one 500 lb bomb the Spit IX combat radius was 95 miles. One loaded with 1000 lb of bombs, like this one, probably could do a great job of attacking the guard shack at the airfield's main gate - If the tires did not blow out first, and they did, quite a bit.
