Status: offline 		Yeah it is a Griffon engined Spit......I am not convinced that it is a Seafire. It's not the MkXII as that had the "C" wing (Clipped wing) so I would have to guess at it being the Mk XIV

Griffon because of squared top of cowling? Bigger engine than Merlin it would appear.

So what's the tailhook for, then? Banner towing?

They both are beautiful The Spit has sublime lines...especially the wings. The Mustang has that fantastic, testosterone-charged, air-inlet, canopy and vertical stabilizer.
