Supermarine Seafire

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 The last were finally withdrawn from first-line duties in 1952.
