With a significant new variant of the Spitfire at the advanced stages of development, the introduction of a capable new German fighter aircraft in the skies over occupied Europe caused great concern amongst RAF officals, who were now losing Spitfirees at an alarming rate and needed an immediate response. Spitfire Mk.VIIIの新しい変種が提案された飛行隊の導入はまだ数か月先です。スーパーマリンデザイナーは、この航空機用に意図された新しい発電所であるRollsRoyce Merlin 60シリーズエンジンと既存のSpitfire Mk.V機体と交配するというアイデアを持っていました。 アイデアは公式承認を受け、RAFの緊急暫定戦闘機プログラムが始まりました。Spitfire IXという名称が与えられた新しいバリアントは、実際に戦闘サラブレッドのようなものであることが証明されるストップギャップソリューションです。 実際、この事業はスーパーマリン のチームが克服し、しかしヨーロッパの空の状況の厳しさのために、いくつかのかなり重要な課題がないわけではありません。 Attaching the powerful new variant of the Merlin engine to existing Spitfire airframe was fraught with challenges, as the new unit was larger, wider and featured a redesigned rear section, all of made this far from a simple exchange of engines. スーパーマリン技術者は、既存のシステムと接続をすべて取り外し、新しいエンジンマウントを設計し、すべての継手を新しくアップグレードされたコンポーネントに交換する必要がありました。 実際、最初のSpitfire Mk.IXファイターの多くは手作りで製作され、それぞれが製造に専念する驚異的な数の工数を持っていると主張することができます。 テスト航空機がAir Fighting Development Unitに渡され、後にAeroplane & Armament Experimental Establishmentに広範な評価を得ると、この暫定的なストップギャップスピットファイアは、パフォーマンス面で既存のスピットファイアの著しい改善であることがわかりました。 What had started as something of a desperate attempt to address a critical situing the Royal Air Force would actually result in the service introduction of an exceptional fighting aeroplane and a continuation of the incredible Spitfire story. The Spitfire Mk.IX would go on to be considered so successful that will become the whole production run of the fighter, 2 番目に重く生産されたバリアント, Mk.V に次ぐ 2 番目に, アメリカ生産の Packard Merlin によって動力を与えられた航空機をこの番号に含めると, 実際に生産数の面で Mk.V を上回った. It also be the last major Merlin powered variant of the Spitfire, before the introduction of the mighty Griffon. Just one of many Commonwealth airmen who served and fought with great distinction with the Royal Air Force during the Second World War New Zealander Colin Falkland Gray initially had some difficult in joining the force, failing twice to do so on medical grounds. Having spent some time improving his fitness levels, he was eventually accepted for a short service commission in the late summer of 1938, but rather than stay and train with the Royal New Zealand Air Force, elected to travel to travel to Britain for his flying training, where he would gain his wings and later graduate as a probationary Pilot Officer in October 1939 without too 多くの困難を抱えています。 This prove to be a rather tumultuous period for the Royal Air Force and Europe as a whole, as Britain and her allies were now at war. By the end of the so called Phoney War, Gray was flying Spitfires with No.54 Squadron at Hornchurch, gaining as much operational experience as he could in advance of what seemed certain to be just around the corner, a clash with the all-conquering Luftwaffe. He would make his combat introduction during the Battle of France, flying patrol and fighter support sorties over the areas of Calais and Dunkirk, during which time he would gain both his first combat experience and his first aerial victory. 彼はバトルオブブリテンの間にたくさんの戦闘行動を見に行き、No.54飛行隊が休息と補充のために撤退するまでにグレイは少なくとも14.5の確認された戦闘勝利の印象的な合計を蓄積し、彼を戦いの7番目に成功したRAFパイロットになりました。 With his victory tally continuing to grow, along with a succession of commendations, decoration and promotions, Gray would later take command of No.81 Squadron in the Mediterranean Theatre of Operations at the end of 1942, initially reporting to Gibraltar, where he and the rest of his new unit were to take delivery of their new Spitfire Mkk. .IXファイト。 tersは、最初のMTO飛行隊です。 Operation from several airfields in North Africa, Gray would continuore victories over his adversaries, which now included the opportunity to pit his flying skills against the fighters of the Regia Aeronautica. During his time serving in the MTO, Gray continued to display exceptional airmanship when in combat and a burning desire to sweep the enemy from the skies. On one occasion, his Spitfire developed engine problems which forced him to abort his position in a sortie and return to his home airfield but on arrival, found the base had just been shot up by several Focke Wulf fighter bombers. He immediately gave chase, but his engine was not producing its usual power output, so he was unable to catch them, but on transit back to his home airfield, he came across a lone Messerschmitt fighter, which he promptly dispatched. During his time serving in the Mediterranean, Gray would operate from airfields in North Africa, Malta and Sicily in support of the Allied war effort and by the time he returned back to Britain having accepted a staff position with No.9 Group, he had been credited with 27.5 aerial victories, a figure which made him the top scoring New ニュージーランドのエアエース。 第二次世界大戦。 Although he would fly operationally before war's end, he would not increase his victory tally morer. その印象的な砂漠の中で、Gray's Spitfire Mk.IX MA408は、スピットファイアがどんな色でもよく見えるという古い航空格言を証明していますが、これは特に魅力的であると言わざるを得ません。 Colin Gray used this fighter during Operation Husky the Allied invasion of Sicily, but was just one of several Spitfire in that he flw and scored victories during his time in the Mediterranean. 彼と彼の仲間のMTOパイロットは、アクシス航空機の空を効果的にクリアし、このシアターオブオペレーションとさらに遠くにいる両方で、最終的な連合軍の勝利への道を開くのを助けました。 コリン・フォークランド・グレイは、1961年初頭にイギリス空軍から引退し、その後故郷のニュージーランドに戻りました。 安全警告 大人のコレクターのための詳細なダイキャストスケールモデル。 14歳未満のお子様には適しません。
