Re: Jettisoning canopy of Spitfire - possible or not.

According to Pilot Notes, each Spitfire with Malcolm Hood had such red rubber ball, which allowed pilot jettison canopy. A few weeks ago I found one photo in the Aero Detail book about Spitfires. This photo shows a Spitfire in museum and it has such ball. I belive it's the second part - Spitfire IX-XVI but I'm not completely sure.
