Philip L:
Spitfire improvements, November 1942. Articles in the Advertiser and the Advocate about improvements to the Spitfire.

I understand from article in Wikipedia that the Supermarine Seafire is a naval version of the Supermarine Spitfire fighter adapted for operation from naval aircraft carriers. According to Wikipedia, from 1942 on, further Seafire models were ordered, including the first operationally viable Seafire FMK.111 variant. This led to widespread use with FAA (Fleet Air Arm).

I guess that the Seafire aircraft may have had the same or similar improvements as the Spitfire in 1942. Entering Spitfire Royal Navy into Google search brings up lots of information about this subject.
