Historical?? Well . . . sort of.
The RAAF had MkVc (Trop)'s to start with - with the big filter in the snout, then MkVIII's. RAAF 457Sqn MkVIII's, with sharkmouths, were part of 80 Wing, 1TAF. Most of 80 Wings MkVIII's appear to have carried the Ace of Spades rudder marking. 457 was known as the 'Grey Nurse' squadron and several of their MkVIII's carried the Grey Nurse legend and various styles of sharkmouths. 457Sqn's code at this time was ZP-_. RAAF Spitfire Serials were in the A58-xxx series.
