Thank you for posting this. The Spitfire was an elegant point-interceptor. The wartime Spits used aluminum rivets, all of the flying examples today have had every last rivet replaced with sturdier rivets (10,000+ rivets per airplane).

Did'nt know that.

We use to have personal unauthorized modifications now and then.

Air force had a term called AOCP written on the Form 1.

Aircraft out of commission awaiting parts....

No one dared use that term, therefore unauthorized "modifications".
