Talk:Supermarine Spitfire

Supermarine Spitfire prototype K5054

I have drafted an article at Draft:Supermarine Spitfire prototype K5054. All comments and improvements are welcome. In particular, the nerdy detail and inline citations may need some rebalancing. FYI I have already been told that the sentence "A month later, on 3 January 1935, they formalised the contract with a new specification, F10/35, written around the aircraft." is inaccurate, although I copy-pasted it from this article, and that according to Air-Britain, "The British Aircraft Specification File" F10/35 was circulated for comment only and specification F.37/34 for a High Speed Monoplane Single Seat Fighter was issued to Supermarine on 3 January 1935. — Cheers, Steelpillow (Talk) 18:24, 11 April 2018 (UTC)

Now promoted to Supermarine Spitfire prototype K5054 article. — Cheers, Steelpillow (Talk) 08:46, 20 April 2018 (UTC)

List of Most Produced Aircraft needs citations

Howdy all Wikipedians! This aircraft appears on the list of most-produced aircraft but there is no citation for the production figure cited in that article. I respectfully ask your help in adding a citation, along with any necessary explanatory notes about the production figure (e.g. whether it includes licensed production and significant minor variants, and if so, which ones; take note that the listed production figure includes the Seafire). Thanks in advance! Carguychris (talk) 14:07, 26 September 2018 (UTC)

List of 'su' Aircraft?

I noticed that the list of aircraft starting with the letters 'su' does not contain this aircraft by name. Maybe it is under a type #, but I could not find it. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Mulstev (talk • contribs) 22:11, 28 March 2019 (UTC)

@Mulstev: If you mean List of aircraft (Su), it's there between Sparrow and Spiteful. - BilCat (talk) 22:26, 28 March 2019 (UTC)

I've moved it after Spiteful, as E comes before F. Perhaps that's why you missed if before, as it was in the wrong place alphabetically - BilCat (talk) 22:31, 28 March 2019 (UTC)

Featured picture candidates

Hello, can someone help us identify the aircraft type of this image and specify the date of the poster? https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons:Featured_picture_candidates/File:Britain%27s_New_Spitfire_44-pf-116-2016-001-ac.jpg - Thank you for your help. --S.

Are we really sure it is the work of the UK Government looks more like the stuff that was produced for boys comics and such like. MilborneOne (talk) 15:44, 8 April 2019 (UTC)

no, but that's what the National Archives catalog says. The posters, some in foreign languages, were produced by foreign information offices and war relief associations in the United States for release in this country - Most of the caption cards only cover British and Canadian posters. --S.
