Seafire XV prototype NS487 fitted with a Griffon VI engine, which impressed the team at Boscombe owing to its flush riveting, filled joints and polished surfaces. This caused a mild warning in that it proved very slippery during landing and care had to be taken on approach not to exceed the relevant approach speeds. Note the extra longitudinal strengthening on the fuselage side and panel work around the hook pivot point. The aircraft's high sheen finish is evident in the photographs. This aircraft was later used for weapons trials and arrestor hook trials at Farnborough, living a life of testing. Air Ministry Plane pixs

captured beute PJ-N



seller This was shot down by flak near Ijmuiden/Holland on 21.8.41 and made a belly landing, the 20-year-old pilot Lt. Pickstone of 130th RAF Squadron was captured and survived the war, dying in Canada in 2002. The plane was apparently exhibited for a while at various airfields along the Channel to show the German pilots up close who they were fighting. It did not reach Reich territory for further assessment or recommissioning, the damage did not allow this.
