Re: Help about Spitfire variant.
Hello Dimitris,
From a previous reply posted here some years back. "The LF means it was fitted with a low-altitude optimised engine (cropped blower). The LR is "Long Range" meaning that this aeroplane was plumbed to carry an external 'slipper' tank under the fuselage (not all Mk Vs had this option). The 'R' has nothing to do with 'Reconnaissance' or cameras." Ed
