X-Plane 9.70 Supermarine Seafire FR47. The end of the line for the Spitfire/Seafire family. The main differences from other types are the powered folding wings (not provided in acf, sorry), curved windshield, lip intake and 152 imperial gallon fuel and flaps position for take-off (do not use it in catapult). They operated briefly from 1948 to 1951, but saw combat in the Malayan emergency "operation Firedog" and in the Korea where all the weakness of the design came to evidence. By Vasco Ribeiro.
