There's been a lot of Spitfire related activity here recently and why not? But I was wondering what is your favourite Spitfire version or mark number? Is it the iconic Spitfire Mk.1 of 'Battle of Britain' fame, the Mk.5 that the RAF used to go on the offensive over France and the Low Countries of Europe in 1941, the lashed-up Mk.9 that enabled the RAF to compete on equal terms with the Fw190A, the powerful Griffon-engined Mk.14 or the beautiful and graceful Mk.19? Or is it something else?
You can choose your favourite by historical importance or by looks and as a single version or as a 1,2,3. And please feel free to include the Seafire as well (but not the Seafang and Spiteful developments). OK?
Right, I'll kick off;
1. Spitfire Mk.21 - best-looking of the breed for me. Purists may not like the wing-planform but I love it and it has the classic rear fuselage (non-bubble canopy).
2. Spitfire Mk.14 - First main production version with the Griffon (I'm not forgetting the Mk.12). Great looks and FROG made it complete with a V1! How cool is that?
3. Spitfire Mk.8 - For me, the ultimate Merlin-engined Spitfire. Love the pointed fin and rudder!
