Very nice shots, Marty.
If I guess correctly, with the flat top canopy, that one would have the horrible two-bladed wooden prop.

Thanks Sam....yes it is the 2 blade model.
I reckon the Spitfire must be the most (and maybe fastest) evolved WW2 fighter.

Yes it was. There were different types for different wing mounted armaments.
Whereas the Hurricane went from fabric covered wings, commonly referred to as "rag wings" to metal.
