Good show Daz!

You know we’re always interested by :

– Spitifire pictures
– Buchón pictures
– Girlie pictures

:rolleyes: 😎

Well, it’s not the same one, but I trawled it out anyway!

I think you can just see the four “gun ports” in the leading edge of the port wing. Whether they were put there by accident or by design, who can tell?

First pic from: http://www.militaryairshows.net/galld2.htm

As a side note, I just had a quick read of the thread and saw that the “Universal” wing could have carried the four Brownings – two in the “normal” position, and two where the cannon would be.

It’s interesting as I have a photo from a calendar of the CAF’s Spitfire IX MK297, minus cannons, but with machine-gun ports in exactly those positions!!

If anyone’s interested, I’ll trawl it out.

That was a great discussion. Nice when everyone walks away having learned something and contributed too 🙂

Ok, thanks, that’s what I thought!

Olivier,

Try this thread, which we had considerable fun with earlier in the year:
