Yes, I did. Just got a bit carried away with excitement
It sure looks good

[AndyJWest]

It does indeed.

I'm still trying to figure out what the AI 'P-5' is referring to though. Any ideas, anyone? (or is it a typo?)

about Spit Vs, 12lb would be 1942 and 16lb 1943 ??

[fruitbat]

12lbs would be early '42, 16lbs late '42

[JG53Frankyboy]

so we have to wait till we can see how these new Spit Vs will compare with the already existend ones.

16 lbs was cleared in Spit VB in late 1942. The question is about +12 lbs. I think actually there would be hard to find any evidence if +12 lbs was allowed from begining of service SPitfire Mark VB or it was allowed somewhere later? I suppose that +12 lbs was emergency boost in Merlin 45 from begining of service - so from 1941 year.

In previous Spitfire types - +12 lbs emergency was introduced with used 100 octan fuel in Merlins. So all Spits MK I which were allowed to used 100 octan fuel got new power settings - + 9lbs for nominal power and +12 lbs for emergency. The same Spitfire MK II which had +12 lbs emergency boost since begining. I think with Spitfire MK VB was the same - +12 lbs was emergency boost since begining, then incrased for +16 lbs in late 1942 ( and +18 lbs for LF Merlins).
