Preowned, Resealed, Mint

The Spitfire Mk.V was built in greater numbers than any other mark and carried the burden of RAF Fighter Command's offensive sweeps over occupied Europe through 1941 and 1942. The Va paired the new Merlin 45 with the original "a" wing and its eight Browning machine guns, giving a lighter, better climbing aircraft than the cannon armed Vb, particularly effective at altitude against the Messerschmitt Bf 109F. This boxing also caters for a Mk.IIa, including the well known Observer Corps presentation aircraft P7666 flown from Hornchurch in 1941.
