"Undertaking very low level oblique reconnaissance sorties put the PR Spitfire into the
range of German fighters and anti-aircraft guns.
One response was to produce an armed PR Spitfire.

The PR Mk IG (PR MK VII) carried the standard machine guns of the Mk Ia,
combined with the extra fuselage fuel tank of the PR versions. Used in "Dicing",
short for Dicing With Death, Operations, a number of the aircraft were painted in
a very pale pink camouflage colour and others in standard fighter colours.

Fitted with the "G" camera installation which was two vertical F.24 cameras,
the front camera having a 5" or 8" lens fitted, with the rear camera having a 8" or 14" lens.
Also fitted was an oblique F.24 with either a 8" or 14" lens, it could be fitted facing either side of the aircraft.
With this wide range of cameras, the PR.IG could undertake a wide range of tasks.
However, fitted with only a fuel tank behind the pilot, it was limited by its range.
A total of 45 aircraft were converted to this variant."
