so all i can make out the only wrong in olegs cockpit are the addition of the fuel pressure gauge whereas in the photo of the mk1 pit its absent. No evidence of two fuel gauges nor two fuel cock levers. It sound like in your description that you may have been looking at a Pr version. This would explain extra tanks/gauges and fuel cocks for extra range?
o.k ive just found a drawing of an early mk1. fitted with a ring sight not a refelector gunsight. This one DOES have twin fuel cock levers and the addition of the fuel presure gauge. Still no extra fuel contents gauge. Which takes me back to one of my orignial posts that changes made to spitfires where a constant occurance.
Also with the lack of a radio(im going to have to reasearch this more btw) why would they require night landing lamps. early spits in BOB were ground at dusk. (and i will get back to you on this to be sure)
