I just learned another interesting fact about the Spitfire when it was converted for carrier use into the Seafire Mk47...in that because it was geared with a counter clockwise prop rotation (from the cockpit) that they had trouble during takeoff of hitting the flight control bridge to their right because of the opposite rudder control needed. I guess the new pilots were too used to right rudder, wow. Then came the counter rotating props to correct for this, damn, I learn something new every day. Thanks for the input all.
