At 22:00 in the programme from last night, one of the Spits has a tail wheel, the other doesn't appear to. Is it retractable or......well, what? Anyone know?
Going by the footage it would have been Spitfire
PR Mk XIX, serial PS915, that had the tail leg down. The other Spitfire
PR Mk XIX would have been PM631.
RAF BBMF - Spitfire PS915 (Mk PRXIX)
RAF BBMF - Spitfire PM631 (Mk PRXIX)
Possibly PS915 had the tail leg locked down due to on-going maintenance? See following reason for locked tail leg on PM631 during 2008.
