FSX/PD3 – Seafire MkIIIb

FSX/PD3 – Seafire MkIIIb. The definitive naval Spitfire, the Seafire Mk.III featured manually folding wings. The Mk IIIs served in the front line until 1946 and were then rapidly superseded by Griffon engined Mks XV, XVII and 47s. France equipped some of its Aeronavale squadrons with ex-Royal Navy Seafire IIIs and these saw front line service in Viet Nam in 1946/47.  It is remembered as one of the finest low level fighters afloat in 1945 and one of the few that could tackle a Japanese Zero on equal terms..
