Red Posted April 19, 2020 Share Posted April 19, 2020 (edited) I believe they are structural stiffeners above the wheel wells fitted after the wings on some early mark 5s rippled in that area under +G and it was later replaced with thicker skins in the area P.S. Spitfire wing types could probably fill a book, there where loads of variants PPS.......Emu do you by any chance deal with aftermarket truck bits?

facthunter Posted April 20, 2020 Share Posted April 20, 2020 Inboard strakes are usually at the leading edges and make the inboard area stall first. Nev Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
