The Mk XII was the first production version of the Spitfire to use the Rolls-Royce Griffon engine. The Griffon was a devlopment of the 'R' sprint engine used in the Supermarine Schneider Trophy racing seaplanes of the late 1920s and early 1930s.
It excelled in its role of a low level interceptor. Although its career was short, serving from October 1942 to September 1944, the SSpitfire Xll proved to be a vital step on the development of the ultimate Spitfires.
