Right on the button again Ed . Although l was slightly confused by the mk14 as l thought it to be the "Standard eliptical wing " Griffon powered Spitfire . And Frank Furlong was "cavorting " with Jeffrey Quill when he met his very untimely end . Apparently they were flying back to base after the various testing regimes and started fooling around . Frank inverted the Spitfire at very low altitude and plunged to his death . Jeffrey in his book , said he believed Frank to be one of the greatest test pilots he had the pleasure of meeting and was adamant the control's must have jammed . Jeffrey flew the Griffon prototype , a Mk Xll , itself a modified Mk lX DP 845 and declared it to be the best and most exciting Spitfire he ever flew ! They were hurried into production to challenge the V1 'buzz bombs " (Oh dear ! I've got carried away ! Sorry Ed ! ) Jeffrey Quill was Supermarines Test pilot and flew every Spitfire Mark .
