-History of the spitfire mk24---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The Supermarine Spitfire Mk.24 was a single engine, single seat fighter which served with the Royal Air Force during the early post war period. The Mk.24 was the very last land based Spitfire of the long and illustrious line of fighters. It differed only from late production Spitfire Mk.22s in having two extra fuel tanks fitted in the rear fuselage and provisions for under wing rockets. Late versions of the Spitfire Mk.24 were also fitted with the short barrel Hispano Mk.V 20mm cannon. Only 54 Spitfire Mk.24s were built with a further 27 being converted from Mk.22 airframes. Contra-rotating propellers were tested on the Mk.21,22 and 24 Spitfires but were still not perfected in time to see service on this last Spitfire variant. The contra-rotating propeller would, however see front line service with the Fleet Air Arm’s Seafire Mk.46 and Mk.47. The Spitfire Mk.24 entered service in 1946 with No.80 Squadron in Gutersloh, Germany; the squadron later moved to Hong Kong. In January 1952 the RAF’s last front line Spitfire squadron handed its aircraft over to the Hong Kong Auxiliary Air Force, ending a legacy of over 25 years of perhaps the most famous and iconic fighter aircraft in aviation history.--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Control:AG1:open its belly lights; AG2:unlock the guide wheel; AG3:You can get the touch!:)-----------------------------------------------------------------The version with rockets and bombs COMING SOON.
