Nice, although it's sad to see they haven't really bothered with historical accuracy.

The first production Spit with a bubble-canopy, a MK XIV, was delivered in December 1944. The first prototype with this feature, a MK VIII, flew in September 1943. The squadron most likely to carry the id-letters VZ during the SH5 timeframe, No. 412 squadron of the RCAF, probably received it's first bubble-canopy Spits when they received MK XVIs in May 1945.
