Thanks for the picture Zac!
Shows the split tab very well, and the broader rudder.
I note the Belgian Air Force fitted this rudder to some of their WWII high back XIV’s post war, so it’s not incorrect for a XIV of that period.
Interestingly, the flight test report by written by ‘Indicator’ for Flight Magazine and published in August 1945, notes that the standard MK.XIV rudder with trim tab/automatic servo tab made the rudder very sensitive, and care had to be taken when applying rudder inputs. As this version was a high back, one can see why they introduced the split anti servo (anti balance tab) and larger chord rudder on the XVIII and cut back fuselage XIVs, due to the loss of directional stability, much like they did later on with the P-51D, as well as the fin fillet.
