Wrack details from RAF Wartime fighter's ????
Dears ,
Here is another set of details from next wrack to id shouted down over Politz / Stettin - is it possible to id type of aircraft and his number on base attached photos ? Can you describe some details ? https://picasaweb.google.com/1128626...CMLC9p2Bv4CvCg (forget about last 3 pictures - but maybe somebody knows what show "GOLD emblem"? and last "silver Warsow emblem" with Warsow Syren) For sure: Fuel gauge is shown here for 300 gallons: http://www.spitfirespares.com/Spitfi...truments5.html Oxygen bottle reductor: http://www.spitfirespares.com/Spitfi...es/oxygen.html Thanks in advance for help. Kris JG3 PS - what do you think about this info. below ? : "... PR Type D (PR Mk IV) The PR Mk IV had the longest range of any of the early PR Spitfires. It could carry 114 gallons of fuel in its “d” wings, giving it a range of 2000 miles – in one of its first missions, a PR Mk IV reached Stettin, in the Baltic! It entered service in October 1940 (after the Mk VI), and was produced in much larger numbers than any other early PR Spitfire – a total of 229 were produced. She was known as the “bowser” because of the amount of fuel she could carry. The PR Mk IV could carry a wide variety of cameras, each given a letter code: W: Two F.8 with 20in focal length X: One F.24 with 14in focal length Y: One F.52 with 36in focal length S: Two F.24 with 14in focal length ..."
