Spitfire
Airframe part 3* (Pg 4 Airframe )
This part is
almost like new . It carries the part number
349 = Mk XIV
Spitfire
08= Bottom
main planes
The Spitfire XIV was a short range medium-high altitude
fighter combining the Spitfire Mk VIII airframe with a
Rolls-Royce Griffon engine. Armament was either: B wing - 2
x 20 mm cannon and 4 x .303 Browning guns, or E wing - 2 x
20 mm cannon and .50 Browning guns. The operational weight
with full fuel and ammunition was 8,400 lbs. It was fitted
with a two-speed, two-stage Griffon 65 engine of 2,220 h.p.
Internal fuel capacity was 112 gallons with pick-up points
provided for carrying of 30 gallon, 45 gallon or 90 gallon
drop tanks. Later models could be equipped with a 33 gallon
rear fuselage tank. In appearance it was very similar to the
Spitfire XII with normal wings, except that it had a
five-bladed propeller. The fin and rudder were further
modified. Production models entering service beginning in
February 1945 featured a cut-back rear fuselage and teardrop
bubble canopy.

Spitfire
Airframe part 8* (Pg 4 Airframe )
This is a substanicial piece of Spitfire
wing from a relatively rare variant of the Spitfire.
I found
a part number on this one 351 08
551 = Mk VII Spitfire 08 = Bottom
outer main planes.
Mk VII (type 351)
Shown above the MK VII C Spitfire note the distinctive
pointed extended wing tips
Like the Mk VI, the Mk VII was a high
altitude pressurised variant, this time powered by the
Merlin 64 (F. Mk. VII) or 71 (H.F. Mk. VII) series engine
with two-stage, two-speed superchargers. The cockpit was
pressurised in a similar way to that of the Mk VI, although
the details were slightly different. Other changes to the
airframe are noted above. The Mk VII used a Marshall
manufactured compressor for pressurising the cockpit; this
was mounted on the right of the engine and drew its air
through a long intake under the starboard exhaust stubs. An
automatic valve allowed a maximum pressure differential of
+2 lb./sq.in. This was built up during the climb and was
maintained at heights of 28,000 ft and above.
Extended, "pointed" wingtips were fitted to the
Type C wings, increasing the wingspan to 40 ft 2 in
(12.2 m). Because the threat from high altitude bombers
never materialised many Mk VIIs later reverted to the
normal, rounded wingtip.
While early Mk VIIs were fitted with a
detachable canopy, secured by four pilot-operated catches,
later Mk VIIs were fitted with a "Lobelle"-type
hood which opened by sliding backwards, as on
non-pressurised versions of the Spitfire. This was a big
improvement on the clampdown cockpit of the Mk VI. The
canopy was double-glazed and used rubber tubing to create a
proper pressure seal against the fuselage. The canopy rails
were bulkier than the standard Spitfire type.
n total, 140 Mk VIIs were built by
Supermarine. Most of them were powered by the Merlin 64 (F.
Mk. VII) or Merlin 71 (H.F Mk. VII), the latter fitted with
a Bendix-Stromberg "anti-g" carburettor.The HF Mk had superb high-altitude performance, with a
service ceiling of 45,100 feet (13,700 m); French ace
Pierre Clostermann recalls in his book,
The Big Show, the successful interception of a
long-range reconnaissance
Messerschmitt Bf 109G-6/R3 by a Mk VII
'Strato Spitfire' of
602 Squadron at 40,000 feet (12,000 m) over the British
Home Fleet's base at
Scapa Flow in early 1944.

Airframe part 12* (Pg 4 Airframe )

Spitfire part.
Part number 351 = Spitfire MK VIII 20 = Bottom Elevators
Work began on redesigning the Spitfire airframe to take the
new heavier more powerful engine. This work would produce
the pressurised MK VIII and the unpressurised Mk VIII
Spitfires. These aircraft were expected to be the answer to
the FW 190. In the event the interim MK IX performed that
function. This version used a Mk V fuselage with as few
changes as possible, and entered front line service in July
1942, nearly a year before the Mk VIII.
Shown above the Spitfire MK VIII in RAAF markings.
The Mk VIII (and VII) featured a strengthened fuselage with
a retractable tail wheel. Each wing carried a 14-gallon self
sealing fuel tank, and the main fuselage fuel tank was
increased in size to 96 gallons. These changes gave the Mk
VIII the same range as the Mk V, although as this distance
was achieved at a higher speed, the Mk VIII could stay in
the air for less time than the Mk V. Most Mk VIIIs used a
new broad-chord, or pointed-tip rudder. It also featured a
new tropical filter – the Vokes Aero-Vee – that was so well
designed it was installed on all Mk VIIIs and adapted for
tme Mk IX. The Mk VIII used the “c” wing armament (four
cannon or two cannon and two machine guns) and could carry
up to 1,000lbs of bombs.
A Mk VIII was the first Spitfire to use the revised cockpit
seen on most later models, with a cut-down rear fuselage and
a bubble canopy. This design improved the rearwards
visibility of the aircraft, and was used in late production
Mk IXs, the very similar Mk XVI and the late Mk 20 and
above.
1,657 Mk VIIIs were produced in all, so although it never
replaced the MK IX in Britain and Northern Europe it was
still a major version of the Spitfire.

MK III Spitfire
Airframe part 13*(Pg 4 Airframe )
Very rare
Spitfire MK III Original part.
Part number 330 = Spitfire MK III
08 = Bottom main plane (wing)
Part number 851
Shown above the Spitfire MK III note the flat wing tips.
The Mk III was the first major redesign of the Spitfire. The
new aircraft was based around the Merlin XX engine, a 1240
hp engine with a two-speed supercharger, which would have
given much better high altitude performance. Other changes
included a shorter clipped wing, which reduced the wing span
to 32’7”, increasing the rate of roll. The bullet proof
glass on the canopy was moved inside the cockpit, reducing
drag. The tail wheel was made retractable. The universal “c”
wing was used, which could take four 20mm cannon, eight
.303in machine guns, or two cannon and four machine guns.
Maximum speed increased to 385 mph.
However, although an order was placed for mass production of
the Mk III, it was soon cancelled. The Merlin XX was in
short supply, and was needed more urgently in the Hurricane
MK II Meanwhile, Rolls-Royce had developed the Merlin 45, a
similar engine that could be used in a MK I or MKII
fuselage. The Mk III was abandoned in favour of the Mk V,
although many of the improvements first seen in the Mk III
were used in later versions of the aircraft. The Mk III
airframe was later used to test the Merlin 61 engine,
becoming the ancestor of the MK VII, Mk VIII and MK IX
Spitfires. |
