It is indeed a Spit V....
LZ844 was built on the 8th order for Contract No. B19713/39, as part of a lot of 680 Vc's and IXe's.
It is indeed a Mark Vc, and was at 38 Maintenance Unit on April 20/43, then to 47 MU by the 26th of that month and was handed over to the Royal Australian Air Force on July 2nd, 1943. Martin, the 12 stacks and 4 blader are more common to see on restored Mark V's than the original 6 stacks and 3 blade Rotol or Jablo blades. Most restored V's have this engine/prop set up. No big deal to most, as all a Mark IX was, was an upgraded Mark V. Don
