About the Supermarine Spitfire Mk.Vb Trop. The Supermarine Spitfire is looked upon by numerous as the utmost beautifully designed single seat fighter appearing during WWII. The Spitfire went through many major and minor changes throughout its long manufacturing life. Early improvements triggered the Mk.V number of Spitfires which became the most commonly produced variations of Mk&39;s. The main improvements ended up being the furnishing of three wing armament configurations, plus the use of the stronger Merlin type 45 engine. The most many Mk.V had been the "b" winged version which had a mixed armament of two 7.7mm machine guns as well as on 20mm cannon in each wing.
The Spitfire that demonstrated such superb performance over its homeland, ended up being also urgently needed for operations overseas. One of many better known versions ended up being the North African prepared Spitfire designated "TROP", for Tropical. The largest problem in wilderness operations had been the intake of abrasive sands into the engine, which quickly wore down moving parts. To conquer this trouble a Vokes air conditioning filter had been affixed throughout the carburetor intake.
Although the filter ended up being successful, its large mass reduced the aircraft&39;s speed. The issue ended up being solved by the local upkeep unit stationed at Aboukir, who designated an inferior more streamlined product that was equally effective. The clipped wing variations, which had better low altitude maneuverability, had been commonly noticed in North Africa.
