Re: IIB or not IIB?

I don't believe that there was an official version: I've been told that either can be found in the documents. However, the Flight Manual reprint for the Spitfire Mk.V uses capitals.

I do have the Hurricane manual, but I need to stay near the door for trick and treaters! From memory, that was capitals too.

Personally, I prefer the lower case on aesthetic grounds, plus it does allow making the distinction for variants such as the Spitfire Mk.IXB (LF Mk.IX, as I'm sure you know.)
