The Seafire was a naval version of the Spitfire specially adapted for operation from aircraft carriers. It had folding wings and was provided with catapult, deck-arrester gear and other specialised equipment. Many versions were built with Merlin and Griffon engines, first entering service with No 807 Squadron in mid-1942 and going to sea on board HMS Furious. The last were finally withdrawn from first-line duties in 1952.
| Luis, luislorenzo97(@)yahoo.co.uk, 06.09.2008 I know this is another version of the Spitfire V, but its a sea borne flying veichle with several cannons(I think...) | | EMBER, LEONA.F.HUGHES(@)GMAIL.COM, 23.12.2007 I LOVE THAT DESERT AIRFILTER, IT GIVES THAT OLD BIRD SUCH A STRONG CHIN. FROM THE HMS EAGAL:
DEC, 1942
"HOW ARE YOU BOBBY?"
"GOOD CAPTAIN. I OBVIOUSLY HAVE ALOT TO LEARN, AS I AM WATCHING MY GUNS BEING LOADED WITH FAGS."
" IT'S BRILLIANT ISN'T IT? MORAL BOOSTERS FOR THE MEN ON MALTA."
"I HOPE THE GERMANS WON'T KNOW."
"FAGS WON'T FLY ONE BIT, BUT DON'T FRET ANDY, YOU COULD NEVER HIT ANYTHING ANYWAY." |
