The IA was the first production version, and went into service with two blade prop and "straight" (not bulged) hood.  I believe that the first scheme was the green/brown camouflage, blue/red (type B) roundels on 6 positions.  Several squadrons were equipped with this version, so it's hard to say which s/n can be considered the "original".

I'm sure Ozzy will add to this.

Is there any particular s/n you're looking for?

The supermarine spitfire, to me, is considered a god in aerial combat and the idea of having the very first version that was made by Vickers himself would both be exciting as well as a honor.  

I often credit the spitfire alone for the success of te battle of britian as it was designed to match the skills of the luftwaffe aircraft.

There are CFS2 versions of the MkI available both here and at flightsim.com (different models) that work in 2k2 and FS9.
K5054 is currently only available as payware :P
The last freeware version of her was in FS98, so come on designers, make one for me please.

If I could find a set of specs, a few colored photos of the plane exterior, and picture of the panel and cocpit, weapon stats and aircraft stats of the first mk 1a than I would have a cute little project on my hands.

K5054  - and it's ilk - are in source file format (FSDS) in the FFDS libraries.

Which reminds me, I need to update the libraries with files I've received
