Historical Information

The Supermarine Spitfire Mk.XIV is one of the most advanced and recognizable variants of the legendary British fighter, widely used by the Royal Air Force during World War II, especially in 1944-1945. The Mk.XIV model was powered by a Rolls-Royce Griffon engine, which, among other things, required the use of new, efficient "fishtail" exhaust pipes. The Spitfire Mk.XIV took part in operations over Western Europe and was also engaged in the fight against the V1 and V2 – it was on this model that the distinctive exhausts were installed, improving performance and minimizing the impact of exhaust gases.
