As far as I know, this is purely a what-if, but a fairly reasonable one depending on the scenario. It's not too far-fetched to imagine a Spitfire with the same design logic as the Yak-15.

I'm always a sucker for more '46 content, even if it's fictional yet believable to some extent.

[TWH_Pixy]

Ooh I like it. I'm with Noble in that I love weird stuff like this, especially fictionals.
She'd be real fun to fly.

some schematics of yak-15 that resemble this spitfire.

..... If only Sir Frank Whittle's ideas were developed by Supermarine .... 

The prototype Supermarine Swiftfire...

... and the Supermarine Striker ...
