With the digit 2 seen here, EP822 surely must belong to the same training unit as ER272 (previous Spitfire). Unfortunately it makes me no wiser since it left with S/S Atlantic City (8 Sep 1942), arriving into some "Middle East" port (12 Nov 1942) and being assigned to 601 Sq and later 241 Sq. Anyone who knows more? Stig

The elliptic wing planform...actually a "double ellipse" was designed to minimise induced (lift dependent) drag; the skewing of the ellipse was to get the local wing centre of pressure onto the unswept main spar ... this being a good thing for the structural design. This was based on the work of the German aerodynamicist Ludwig Prandtl whose work was published in 1934 just in time to contrbute to the Spitfire....nice case of international collaboration eh?
