Premise of the thread: instead of the OTL Type 327, the twin engined fighter, Supermarine tries with a twinned Spitfire. 4 cannons in the inner wing (that is of constant chord), outer wing panels house fuel tanks. U/C is of stronger type than in the Spitfire.
Second crew member acts as radio-man, watches the 6 o'clock position, has the basic pilot training in order to bring the aircraft home in case other pilot is incapacitated through enemy fire.
What does the RAF gain, what is lost in ballance, what kind of capability and performance for initial and developed models can we expect?
