None of them were originally two-seaters!
I shall rephrase – not one of the aircraft originally converted to two-seaters after the war.
That better?

Whos is the high topped rear cockpit Spitfire?
MJ627, owned by Peter and Maurice Bayliss, based at East Kirkby and most often flown by Paul Day.
If i remember correctly both the grace spitfire and the iac t9s rear cockpits are not thsat high and the other 2 seater in the uk is also a low back. Or is that me.
Grace Spitfire has low canopy, IAC161 has high. There is another 2-seater flying in the UK – Anthony Hodgson’s PT462. It has a low rear canopy.
