The rear crossmember on our Spitfire frames have a hole (.5" approx) all the
way through in the center.  At least, mine does, and the photos of a Mk1 in
John Thomason's book does, so I'm assuming they all do.

Does anyone know the intended purpose of this hole?  Considering the hole goes
all the way through (top and bottom) of the cross member, I wouldn't think it
was for draining purposes.  Anybody know?

Take care,
