  1. FIATF130DT. The two seat trainers were converted from production Spitfire Mk VIII and MK IX after the war, this was an LF Mk IX made in 1943, you are right.

  2. Herpythe Really? maybe you missed the fact that Spitfire and Tempest both had combat against Me 262`s and it was rather one sided, Me 262`s failed to shoot down either and both shot down quite a number of Me 262`s, another fact is that most Me 262 never flew at all. To quote a Spitfire pilot late in 1944, "the Me 262 is not as rare as it used to be but is not as dangerous as we had been led to expect".

  3. Brit. Try reading up on the subject, Hugo Broch scored his victories from 1943 on the Eastern front. He would be well aware of the Spitfire but did he meet any?
