Not that I am aware of.

Also please do not use the words "Griffon" and "Spitfire" in the same sentence...it is just SO wrong :) :) :)

Don't worry. It's a form of mental illness that will pass :-)

Kind of like thinking Bar Refaeli would be totally hot, IF ONLY she had Barbara Streisand's nose... :) :) :)

Forgive me for stepping out of line but I think a Griffon engined Spitfire would be awesome!

Firstly, it would be a very interesting comparison with the earlier Merlin engined Spitfire (completely different flying characteristics)

And I really like the growl of the Griffon engine! It's like a Merlin in a really bad mood! :lol:

And double boo!!!

Personally, however, I would love to see an A2A Griffon Spitfire 14, with the highback fuselage, of course. A low back Spitfire 16 (Packard Merlin powered Mk9) for those who like to see more, and a Mk5c. You know - like this:

Image

She's an RAAF Spitfire 5 rescued from Goodenough Island in the Pacific and now on display in the South Australian Aviation Museum in Adelaide. I've been a'travelling this last month and had to have a look in this museum specifically because they have a Spitfire. I took some more shots if anyone would like to see them. She's unusual in that she still carries an RAF serial number (EE 853) rather than an RAAF serial (A84-???).

As I've said in various Spitfire threads on this forum, I'd really love an A2A Spitfire 5C because of the variations with windscreen/propeller/wing tips and air filters, but also because the Mk5 had a single stage 2 speed supercharger, which hasn't yet been modelled properly. We have the Spitfire Mk1 with single speed single stage supercharging, and the Mustang with 2 speed 2 stage supercharging, so this would be an additional variation for those of us never likely to fly warbirds.


Cheers,
Mike
