Just as a matter of interest, has anyone a copy of drawing 37727-1075?

Just means it was first fitted to Seafire XV – doesnt mean it doesnt come off a later Mark.

Is that from a French Aéronavale Seafire XV ?
No idea – that’s all there was. Watch this space though.

377 = Seafire XV, according to Supermarine’s list, and the prototype NS487, to boot.

No, its from the fuselage; just behind the engine.

Ha ha! An Irish Seafire via an installment plan :p Could go on for years….
🙂 – no it came from a lot further south (and west)! It has Azure blue paint on it which makes me think that it is from the fuselage underside on the port side of the carb air intake, hence the story that it came from “under the wing”. A plan view I managed to find of a 22/24 shows a similar looking access panel.

If it was Spitfire would happily pay 10K but its just a Seafire I have half a dozen of those chucked at the back of my shed a couple of them were flown by Nelson at Trafalgar.

At £10K for just the seat you’d need an installment plan….!

Oil tank access door from a Griffon Spitfire, so yes, could be 22/24.

Good afternoon, gentlemen.
I also have interests in Spitfires. But I’m still a newbie, all I know is the general knowledge about them. I wonder if you can help me to broaden my knowledge.
By: Mark V - 5th February 2012 at 14:08
Yes as Andy says – it will be an oil or coolant access door.
By: Arabella-Cox - 5th February 2012 at 13:53
Seafire XV.
27 = fuselage.
I hesitate to post this else another poster on another thread will label me “anorak”.
I probably am, then. 😮
