Terry,
        We had a new member turn up to the Oxford TSSC meeting on Monday with a
gorgeously original 21,000 mile Spit MkIV. It was fitted with a GFE150,
which is a type I'd not seen before. It was quiet on startup, but the
oil pressure light wasn't working. So the GFE 150 would appear to be
correct for a Spitfire, though I've not yet had a chance to check any
listings for it,
        Regards,
                Bill.
