About This File
FS2004/FSX/FSX St Ed Supermarine Seafire Mk 45. With the Mk 21 the elliptical wing gave way to a new one with blunted tips and changes to the flaps and ailerons. The wing was made even stronger and carried four 20mm cannon. The fuselage was redesigned and the whole airframe was heavier than previous Spitfires, meaning the undercarriage had to be made more robust. The wheels were now fully covered by undercarriage doors in flight. The Mk 45 was the naval variant with tailhook but fixed wings. This is Seafire Mk.45 LA 486, 583/LP, of No 771 NAS, 51st Miscellaneous Air Group, RNAS Lee-on-Solent, summer 1950. Gmax model by A.F. Scrub.
