Hi all,
Research continues on my Spitfire Mk.II project. I'm looking for any information on the Type 343 Spitfire Mk.IIA(LR). In particular I need to know if the underwing tank it carried was a 30 or 40 Imp. Gal. tank (I've seen both numbers quoted) and how and where it plumbed into the main fuel system. Any drawings of photos of the cockpit control for the selector for the extra tank would also be extremely helpful!
I'm also looking for photos or profiles of this variant using the sea grey camo scheme that came into use in August 1941. Everything I have shows the earlier green/brown scheme, but this variant served into early 1942, and would have worn grey/green camo after August 1941 like the rest of Fighter Command.
Thanks for any help!
Dan
