Two shots from the personal album of Paddy Heffernan, RAAF, exchange officer with the RAF in in mid thirties. Now in the RAAF Museum Archives.

And the Spitfire Society's static replica Spitfire seen at Duxford some years ago:

She looks pretty "right" even as a prototype, the first of almost 23,000. Notice that big fixed prop, and the exhaust residue on the side of the engine cowling. I don't think there were any exhaust stacks, just the bare ports on the side of the engine.
