I think you mean Supermarine Spitfire, Godfrey! Supercharged 27L V12 Rolls Royce Merlin/Griffon engines. When they changed the exhausts to point backwards like that, the max velocity increased by 30mph. A magnificent example.
Yep. That's a very late version (you can tell by the bubble canopy) with the Griffon engine (easily identified by the 5-bladed propeller). Any British boy over the age of, say, 6, knows a Supermarine Spitfire when he sees one! Splendid photo.
