Spitfire Mk XIV canopy. - Aircraft of World War II

T-6 · 11-25-2008, 02:26 AM

Hi, guys.
I'm looking for engineering drawings for the teardrop canopy for a lowback Spitfire. I'm specifically interested in the Mk.XIV, but I'm sure all the other lowbacks were similar. Anything relating to the highback canopy will not work.
Thanks,

All lowbacks are the same..I havent found anything in the Spitfire Restorations collection.Have you tried Hendon in England?

Yup, I've contacted them to no avail.
Thanks

Did you try drawing 35930, sheet 20 at Hendon? Should be the same as a
Mk XIV.

To the best of my information, all low backs used the same canopy, T-6.
