Show me anywhere on official paperwork the designation IXc. 🙂

Initially referred as ‘IX’ then ‘Early IX and IXe’.

Mark

ps. I have never seen a IXb referred either.

Beat me to it!

Mark – out of interest are there any interesting schemes for MH367 from her service life??

Just the one image located so far. DU-Z of 312 Squadron.

does it have a “c” wing or an “e” wing??

can anybody point me in the direction of a picture of a late IXc with clipped wings and the broad chord rudder – did such a beast even exist??

thanks

E-wing fitted.

There are numerous photos of Spitfire IX ML417, which is configured as you described (unless, of course, you’re after a wartime shot?)

Excellent news.

Like you say on your forum, Dave, those desert colours look spot-on for this particular Spit.
