Does anyone know anything about the Spitfire mark X?

I can’t find much information anywhere.

There weren’t many Pr.Xs built. A handful compared to the other PR variants.

Simplified version, the X was pressurised, the XI wasn’t.

As the ‘X’ was a PR – Photo Reconnaissance model, try searching under ‘Spitfire PR X’

According to an appendix in the excellent book Spitfire, by Jeffrey Quill, the PR X had a 1475 hp Merlin 77 and a pressure cabin for high altitude work.

I’m sure that more exulted ones will update this thread much better than I could shortly. I know, don’t call me shortly !
