	Supermarine Spitfire - Great Britain
		The first version of the Spitfire so equipped, was the Mark VI derived directly from the Mark VB, as a result of work on pressure cabins at the Royal Aircraft Establishment and Supermarine during 1940-41.
		At the R.A.E., R7120 was fitted with a Merlin 47 (the high rated version of the Merlin 45) with a four-blade Rotol propeller with Jablo blades and a pressure cabin.
		The same engine was employed by the 100 Spitfire VI (Type 350) fighters, built by Supermarine, the first two of these AB176 and X4942 serving as prototypes.

	SuperMarine
		A contempory interior, styled again by Ken Freivokh, maximises the use of all workable space, and creates a sense of refinement and sophistication within her open plan layout.
		The Supermarine Swordfish 36 has been designed with two distinct kinds of buyer in mind: the serious yachtsman who wants to go places, whatever the weather, and the sun-loving sportsman who demands elegance and style.
		Both will find the Swordfish exiting and completely satisfying in specification and finish, avoiding on one hand the caravan-style cruiser and on the other, the kind of craft whose sense of adventure is limited to marina-hopping between havens.

		I've had very good experiences with Supermarine when flying into SMO, but on my last visit, they hooked a tug up to my plane and over-turned the nose wheel resulting in damage to the tow bar bracket and wheel pant.
		Supermarine treated us efficiently and were very friendly, even though we landed on a busy Friday afternoon and were the only 172 among the corporate aircraft on their ramp.
		I landed a little C150 at SMO for an overnight stay in the area and was handled by Supermarine.

	The Supermarine Spitfire
		Supermarine had great plans for the Type 224, but because of its failure in every department, the company had to do something quick to be able to prove to the authorities that they were capable of producing a good hard working fighter aircraft.
		Supermarine had for some time enjoyed success in aircraft design and with many aircraft bearing similarities to the Schneider successes including the 224, something different had to be designed.
		Supermarine went back to the Mk I airframe for the prototype Mk V and and installed a more potent Merlin 45 engine that although rated at 1,185 horsepower, its combat rating at 9,250 ft was actually 1,470 hp.

	Imperial Airways - Publications - Supermarine
		Supermarine was founded in 1913 on the Woolston shore of the River Itchen at Southampton by Noel Pemberton Billing, an eccentric inventor and aviaton pioneer.
		'Supermarine' was initially his telegraphic address and symbolised his intention to 'build boats that fly rather than aeroplanes that float'.
		In the post-war jet age, Supermarine produced three generations of jet fighters - the 'Attacker', the Royal Navy's first operational jet, the 'Swift', the first British swept-wing aircraft for the Royal Air Force, and the culminating 'Scimitar', the Royal Navy's first swept-wing jet aircraft.

	WW2 Warbirds: the Supermarine Spitfire - Frans Bonné

	Supermarine Spitfire - The Air Combat Wiki
		Unlike the Hurricane, whose pedigree was a long line of combat aircraft, the Supermarine Spitfire came from a long line of racing seaplanes.
		Similarly, it was the brainchild of a brilliant aerodynamics engineer, Reginald J. Mitchell, who worked himself literally to death to design the machine that would serve as the backbone of the RAF fighter force throughout World War II.
		With Air Ministry approval of the project, Supermarine, working together with Rolls Royce and the Air Ministr, eliminated the basic shortcomings in the initial design and began work on a prototype in March 1935.

	SUPERMARINE SWIFT - HISTORY
		A type 510 fuselage (basically an Attacker fuselage with Swift wingroots, then designated type 521 by Supermarine) was bought from Supermarine and after a brief stay at General Aircraft, moved onto Blackburn where it was married to appropriate crescent-shaped wings and a T-tail, becoming known as the YB.2, or HP.88.
		Supermarine were given the contract to produce 100 aircraft, to be named Swift.
		Meanwhile Supermarine continued working on a further improved variant, still battling to fix the pitch-up problem, and produced the F.4 (Type 546) as a result; the fix being a variable incidence tailplane which did indeed seem to cure the problem.

	Supermarine Walrus in detail
		For the Spitfire fans, it may be hard to believe that the stubby Walrus was a creation of the same mind, and was produced during roughly the same period of time.
		R.J.Mitchell designed this flying boat in 1933 as an improvement to the already-in-production Supermarine Seagull, incorporating a pusher rather than tractor propeller, enclosed cockpit and a metal hull, allowing for a catapult launch from warships.
		The hull on this example is metal-skinned, implicating that this is a Walrus Mk I, produced by Supermarine.

		The Spitfire's elliptical wings gave it a very distinctive look; their thin cross-section gave it speed; the brilliant design of Chief Designer R.J. Mitchell and his successors (he died in 1937) meant the Spitfire was loved by its pilots.
		Mitchell immediately turned his attention to an improved design as a private venture, with the backing of Supermarine owners Vickers.
