Hi, if you still need some help regarding Spitfire II - Mushroom Publications will issue next week a SINGLE booklet about Spitfire IIA. With drawings and pictures of Spitfire II. As i know, Spitfire II had an additional panel on starboard cowling to access Cofman starter magazine. Additionally starter exhaust behind bulge. There were not an access panel for electrical starter plug nor hole for crank. Both types of propeller: de Havilland and Rotol were used. Robert

Hi again, thank you for all suggestions!!!! Aree, sheld outline seems different then a cross. so i changed that acordingly then i added wings on shield sides. gold probably. But this part is visible on some pictures, some not. so now, rougly, my idea is like that: i found well know picture from IWM of Lt. Sachs from 92 sq. there is visible badge like that: it seems, wings shape is wider at bottom part there. well, that's not easy. still working on that. robert

hello, Daniel, thanks a lot for picture details! seems, there were 8th Army shield and RAF eagle at the badge. but still have no any idea about mistery shape behind a shield. mayby somebody has any idea what the shape is? so now i can imagine the badge as that: on your pictures, Daniel, i can see there were 2 differend shapes of a shield. that makes this case more complicated. br robert

Hello, i am looking for any close up of triangle badge placed on Spitfire VIII tanks covers from 92 squadron in Africa. i saw it on some photos but often blurred or very small. have you seen any good photo of that? i've found it was called Desert Air Force badge - but i do not have any confirmation. i be very thankful for any support from you Robert
