Supermarine Spitfire Mark I
Aircraft & Exhibits, APR 1939-NOV 1971, Cosford, Hangar Two, 72/A/263
More than any other aircraft, the Spitfire has become a much-loved symbol of winning against the odds. Designed by RJ Mitchell, its speed, agility and firepower made it one of the RAF's leading fighter aircraft of the Second World War.
Boulton Paul Defiant Mark I
Aircraft & Exhibits, 1940-1944, Cosford, Hangar Two, 74/A/16
The Defiant introduced a new tactical concept in two-seat RAF fighter design by concentrating all armament in a four-gun turret behind the cockpit. During the Battle of Britain, it proved no match for German fighters and was quickly withdrawn from daylight operations and moved to a night-fighter role.
