Supermarine Spitfire
Supermarine Spitfire Mk. VI, RCAF (Serial No. X4492), in flight, 26 Feb 1944.
The Supermarine Spitfire is a British single-seat fighter aircraft that was used by the Royal Air Force and other Allied countries before, during, and after World War II. Many variants of the Spitfire were built, using several wing configurations, and it was produced in greater numbers than any other British aircraft. It was also the only British fighter produced continuously throughout the war. The Spitfire continues to be popular among enthusiasts; around 70 remain airworthy, and many more are static exhibits in aviation museums throughout the world.
The Spitfire was designed as a short-range, high-performance interceptor aircraft by R. J. Mitchell, chief designer at Supermarine Aviation Works, which operated as a subsidiary of Vickers-Armstrong from 1928. Mitchell pushed the Spitfire's distinctive elliptical wing with cutting-edge sunken rivets (designed by Beverley Shenstone) to have the thinnest possible cross-section, helping give the aircraft a higher top speed than several contemporary fighters, including the Hawker Hurricane.
The Spitfire had detachable wing tips which were secured by two mounting points at the end of each main wing assembly. When the Spitfire took on a role as a high-altitude fighter (Marks VI and VII and some early Mk VIIIs), the standard wing tips were replaced by extended, "pointed" tips which increased the wingspan from 36 ft 10 in (11.23 m) to 40 ft 2 in (12.24 m). The other wing-tip variation, used by several Spitfire variants, was the "clipped" wing; the standard wing tips were replaced by wooden fairings which reduced the span by 3 ft 6 in (1.07 m). The wing tips used spruce formers for most of the internal structure with a light alloy skin attached using brass screws.
Due to a shortage of Brownings, which had been selected as the new standard rifle calibre machine gun for the RAF in 1934, early Spitfires were fitted with only four guns, with the other four fitted later. Early tests showed that, while the guns worked perfectly on the ground and at low altitudes, they tended to freeze at high altitude, especially the outer wing guns, because the RAF's Brownings had been modified to fire from an open bolt. While this prevented overheating of the cordite used in British ammunition, it allowed cold air to flow through the barrel unhindered. Supermarine did not fix the problem until October 1938, when they added hot air ducts from the rear of the wing-mounted radiators to the guns, and bulkheads around the gunbays to trap the hot air in the wing. Red fabric patches were doped over the gun ports to protect the guns from cold, dirt, and moisture until they were fired.
The first Rolls-Royce Griffon-engined Mk XII flew in August 1942, and first flew operationally with 41 Squadron in April 1943. This mark could nudge 400 mph (640 km/h) in level flight and climb to an altitude of 33,000 ft (10,000 m) in under nine minutes. As American fighters took over the long-range escorting of USAAF daylight bombing raids, the Griffon-engined Spitfires progressively took up the tactical air superiority role, and played a major role in intercepting V-1 flying bombs, while the Merlin-engined variants (mainly the Mk IX and the Packard-engined Mk XVI) were adapted to the fighter-bomber role. Although the later Griffon-engined marks lost some of the favourable handling characteristics of their Merlin-powered predecessors, they could still outmanoeuvre their main German foes and other, later American and British-designed fighters.Wikipedia

403 had two operations. Morning escort (Ramrod 637), afternoon sweep (Ranger 127/23)
From 430 Daily Operations Record Book:
"RANGER 127/23: Our aircraft took off from Friston on this ranger and swept areas of Evereux, Paris, Melun, Creil. The swoop was uneventful until just after our aircraft had passed Evereux where a few bursts of flak were encountered. Three of our aircraft were hit by intense accurate light flak thrown up from a wood near Saint-Andre l'Eure and Flying Officer Ballantyne's aircraft was seen to strike the ground and explode. Flight Lieutenant Goldberg reported that he would have to force land and was last seen gliding down with flaps down at about 300 feet. Flying Officer Preston's aircraft was also damaged. South of Saint-Andre L'Eure the weather was seen to be closing in with 10/10th low cloud and so our aircraft turned for base. They crossed out the French coast at Trouville where light flak was experienced. Three army lorries where shot up and claimed as destroyed in the vicinity of Verneuil. No enemy aircraft were seen."
From 403 Monthly Summary Operations Record Book
"Two shows today and also 21 non-operational sorties. We were escort wing on the morning do and this afternoon carried out an eight man Ranger. No enemy aircraft were seen. On the Ranger we lost two pilots, Flying Officer DH Ballantyne and Flight Lieutenant D Goldberg our adjutant. Flying Officer J Preston's aircraft was severely damaged by flank but he managed to land at Friston. Flying Officer Ballantyne's aircraft was seen to hit the ground and explode and very little hope in mind for him. He has been posted as missing believed killed. Flight Lieutenant Goldberg reported that he was going to attempt a crash landing. He has been posted as missing but all are hoping he will be walking back to see us one of these days. Flying Officer L Foster was posted to No 53 OTU ??? today."
