Thanks for the Ping, P.E.

I know Cannon armed Spits were few during the Battle of Britian but it's all I have handy at the moment:-)

And a bit of whimsy in this pic.

The mainstay of the RAF throughout the Battle of Britain was the Hurricane, there were not that many Spitfires available at that time.

The poor old Hurricane subsequently got it’s glory stolen by the all-conquering Spitfire which became an icon of RAF excellence.
