Well what else would I be posting about. Now I've got quite a collection of Spitfire stuff, but I'd like to get my paws on more pictures of MkV/IXs and also any technical data anyone might have, especially diagrams.
Meanwhile anyone wishing to find an existing Spitfire or other cool stuff about Supermarines finest should check here http://www.supermarine-spitfire.co.uk

Russia got spitfires by lend-lease.
they usually changed the guns for russian ones, and engines were often replaced with the ones used on YAK-9's

Russian planes: IL-76 (all standard length ones), Tu-154 and Il-62, Tu-134 and An-24RV&&&&AI flightplans and repaints can be found here

I have heard rumours that in various storage areas in the soviet union/russia there are crated up WW2 aircraft tanks etc that we delivered but were never used.

I've never heard of any doing this Ivan, but since you brought this up I'm looking into it. I haven't found any evidence so far, but if I come across anything I'll let you know.

They can put a merlin in a Yak-3 (though it loses the spinner SHVAK cannon), so why not the other way around

'Russian spitfire' rebuilt, and there even is one with working guns flying as a private aircraft
