Storm, nice photos. By chance would you know the history on the clipped wing Spitfire shown in the pictures. Or anyone if you know I would love to hear the history!

Love the 1st one!

Here in Oz the best we can do is 2 Spits at the same time. I'd love to visit Legends

#1 is a great shot!

By chance would you know the history on the clipped wing Spitfire shown in the pictures.

Google is your friend:
Entering service in June 1943, the clipped wing Spitfire Mk XII proved generally superior to the contemporary models of the Fw 190A at low level. Engines for this variant were the Griffon III and IV, and about half the number built had a retractable tailwheel, while almost all examples had the pointed fin and rudder.

What is the function of the air scoops under the wings & the smaller one under the fuse? Cooling perhaps?
