een variant van de Merlin.
Deze variant werd vooral in Engelse tanks en andere rupsvoertuigen gebruikt,

YOUNGSTERS at a Taunton primary school had an unusual visitor this week – a Spitfire.
The plane arrived in the playground at Bishop Henderson Primary School for a visit organised by Year 6 pupils as part of their studies on Remembrance and World War 2.
It was made possible by owner Graham Adlam, whose wife Claire is a teacher at the school.
Head teacher Ed Gregory said: “Everyone at the school is extremely grateful to Graham for bringing in the Spitfire and creating a day that our pupils will remember forever.
The plane, which is reconstructed with 50 per cent original parts, is the only full-scale static replica in the world of fighter ace Johnnie Johnson’s Mk IX Spitfire EN 398.
Het is dus deze replica:
