Technically, there are no carrier-based Spitfires... they are called Seafires.

This is what replaced them: Seafury

Powered by a sleeve valve engine. Here is a comparison between the a sleeve valve cylinder assembly and a poppet valve:

I spent my high school years windsurfing whenever possible. Even worked as an instructor for a while in Canada and briefly in Australia. Sigh. Now I've got the itch again for the first time in years. And not just because of a pretty girl!

I saw a wonderful docu on PBS about elderly surfers few years back. I can't recall who it was, but one of the first "big wave" surfers said something like "..one day when I was in my 40s, the thing broke on my head, drove me to the bottom, and I nearly drowned. When I finally came up, I swore..nothing over 10 feet ever again..". Obligatory hotlink is an image I found of the DVD case..
