Re: Spitfire...what?

A Mark VI would have a a four blade prop and fishtail exhaust.


https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Superm...k_VI_(Type_350)

In 1943 five Spitfire VIs (BS106, BS124, BS133, BS134 and BS149) were converted to improvised PR Mk VIs by 680 Squadron in Egypt. These aircraft had been "tropicalised" using the same bulky Vokes filter and other equipment used by Spitfire VB Trops, as well as being painted in a "desert" camouflage scheme.
