I think we can all attest to the strangeness of Air Ministry and top level RAF thinking at some time or other! Fact of the matter was that both aircraft were not designed to carry back armour, and an unauthorised field modification of expensive government property was frowned upon.
Kutscha, that date seems incredibly early. All the references that I am looking at seem to infer that the relevant factories were not beginning to roll Spits and Hurris out with back armour until approximately May 1940.
