Can someone tell me what the short tubes are that are located alongside the
canon on each wing? I've looked through a few books that show them but lack
an explaination as to what they are.
Thanks,
Howard
The wing of the later Spitfires could have a variety of armament
installed; 1 cannon + 2 machine guns, or two cannon. If just one
cannon was installed a streamlined fairing was placed over the unused
cannon port to stop that awful whistling noise...

Cheers,

Dave
