Supermarine Spitfire F Mk 21, 22 and 24 v1.1



SAS Spitfire Mk 21, 22 and 24 Pack v1.0 (11.21mb, Mediafire)
SAS Spitfire Mk 21, 22 and 24 Pack v1.0 (11.21mb, Mission4Today)

This is a little project that Red_Fox90 and I have been plugging away on in secret for a while. Hope you enjoy it

The Mk 22 was identical to the Mk 21 in all respects except for the cut-back rear fuselage, with the tear-drop canopy, and a more powerful 24 volt electrical system in place of the 12 volt system of all earlier Spitfires. Most of the Mk 22s were built with enlarged tail surfaces, similar to those of the Supermarine Spiteful. A total of 287 Mk 22s were built: 260 at Castle Bromwich and 27 by Supermarine at South Marston.

The Mk 22 was used by only one regular RAF unit, 73 Squadron based on Malta. However 12 squadrons of the Royal Auxiliary Air Force used the variant and continued to do so until March 1951. The Mk 22 was also used at Flying refresher schools. In May 1955 the remaining F.22s were declared obsolete for all RAF purposes and many were sold back to Vickers-Armstrongs for refurbishment and were then sold to the Southern Rhodesian, Egyptian and Syrian Air Forces.

The final Spitfire variant, the Mk 24, was similar to the Mk 22 except that it had an increased fuel capacity over its predecessors, with two fuel tanks of 33 gal (150 l) each installed in the rear fuselage. There were also zero-point fittings for rocket projectiles under the wings. All had the larger "Spiteful" tail units: modifications were also made to the trim tab gearings in order to perfect the F Mk 24's handling characteristics. The F Mk 24 achieved a maximum speed of 454 mph (731 km/h), and could reach an altitude of 30,000 ft (9,100 m) in eight minutes, putting it on a par with the most advanced piston-engined fighters of the era.

Although designed primarily as a fighter-interceptor aircraft, the Spitfire proved its versatility in several different roles. In fighter configuration the F Mk 24's armament consisted of 4 × short-barrelled 20 mm Hispano cannon – operational experience had proved that the hitting power of these larger weapons was necessary to overcome the thicker armoured plating encountered on enemy aircraft as the war progressed. The aircraft also served successfully in the fighter-bomber role, being capable of carrying 1 × 500 lb (230 kg) and 2 × 250 lb (110 kg) bombs, with rocket-projectile launch rails fitted as standard. Late production aircraft were built with the lighter, short-barrelled, electrically fired Mark V Hispano cannon.

A total of 81 Mk 24s were completed, 27 of which were conversions from Mk 22s. The last Mk 24 to be built was delivered in February 1948. They were used by only one RAF squadron, 80 Squadron, until 1952. Some of the squadron's aircraft went to the Hong Kong Auxiliary Air Force where they were operated until 1955.

Nice one!
Congratulations to Luca and you and of course to all others involved!

Best regards - Mike

[BravoFxTrt]

Wow, a Pleasant surprise, Thanks To All Involved!

[Rubberduck]

Great but... I got a 60% CTD 

[Mad026]

nice planes I already tested it against a BF-109   

[Docholiday]

THX a lot Mate !!

I am waiting for these Super-Spits since a long time !

Shoot my first Bf.109K-6   

Doc

[ANDYTOTHED]

These things can chase and swat Me-262s. I managed to reach 460mph TAS in a test flight, so in my books they're perfect.

[Spitwulf]

Wonderful addition for the Spitfire family! Thanks to all involved in this project!

Bye!

[SAS~Storebror]

Great but... I got a 60% CTD 

DiffFM is required as described in the installation instructions.
If you're running neither DBW nor Modact 5 you'll have to install the DiffFM mod yourself.

Best regards - Mike

[Rubberduck]

I'm on DBW 1.71...is there a conflict with another Spitfire mod perhaps?

[Kant]

Soon we will see the new wing tips on SeafireFRMk47 ?

[Piotrek1]

A great addition , I am a big fan of Spitfires ... Thank you very much for creating these two variants.

They called them Spitfires. The clue is in the name.
