OUR FASTEST FIGHTER IN PRODUCTION

These exclusive pictures, with two others on page 636b, were secured by Flight's chief photographer when a production Vickers-Supermarine Spitfire was undergoing acceptance trials in the hands of F/O J. K. Quill. This new fighter, which is powered with the 1,050 h.p. Rolls-Royce Merlin, may be said to have been developed from the design of the Supermarine racing seaplanes which won outright for Britain the Schneider Trophy. It will be noticed that ducted radiators are situated in an unusual positionbeneath the wing.
