The Supermarine Spitfire XIX was the last, and most successful photo-reconnaissance Spitfire. This replica can reach over 400mph in level flight, and over 500mph in a dive. It is easy to fly, with only trim and minor control inputs needed to cruise at altitude. Service ceiling is over 45,000ft. It has no guns, and comes in a blue livery typical of RAF reconnaissance planes of the era, making it difficult to spot against the sky. Being a later model of Spitfire, it is equipped with the Rolls Royce Griffon engine, which is larger and more powerful than the Merlin engines powering earlier Spitfires.
