This unique floatplane version—one of only three ever built—originated from a mid‑1942 initiative to adapt the iconic Mk.Vb Spitfire for maritime operations. Fitted with Type 355 floats and powered by a Merlin 45 engine with four‑blade prop, it flew October 12, 1942, later trialed in Egypt at Great Bitter Lake.
