Supermarine's attempt to claim the air speed record resulted in the development of the 'Speed Spitfire'.  A souped-up Merlin, thin, broad flat wings, a streamlined canopy and a Watts four bladed prop made this Spitfire look very different to its warrior brothers. Continual technical difficulties and the threat of a looming war killed it off.  Remarkably it survived the war, serving as a Squadron hack, still in its ' Kingfisher blue and silver flash' paint job. A pleasant change from all those 'Battle of Britain' Spitfires.
