The Seafire LF9E registered G‑RYIX and coded RY‑A appears in a detailed air‑to‑air image from UK Warbirds 2023. Derived from the Supermarine Spitfire, the naval Seafire incorporated carrier‑specific modifications and was typically powered by a Rolls‑Royce Merlin liquid‑cooled V‑12 piston engine with a four‑bladed propeller. It combined high maneuverability with structural changes to operate from aircraft carriers and was armed with cannons for fleet protection.
