The Spitfire Mk.1X appeared before the Mk.V11 and Mk.V111, and was a Mk.V fitted with the latest Rolls-Royce Merlin 60 series engine. 1200 examples were operated by the Soviet Union and the type was used extensively in North Africa and the Balkans. The Mk.XV1 (1054 built) was powered by a 1720hp(1282kW) Packard but was generally similar to the Mk.1X although most had "clipped" wings. A small number of Mk.1X’s and Mk.XV1’s remain airworthy.
