Spitfire prototype K5054 wingspan

Wed Nov 13, 2019 5:24 am

Reading a book the other day, “Spitfire icon of a Nation” by Ivan Rendall, it states that the prototype wingspan was 37’. I always understood it was 36’ 10”, any one know which is the correct figure please? PeterA?. Thanks in anticipation.
