There weren't any 'Scottish' planes as such. The RAF has always been staffed by people from all over the UK.
Winglets are not absolutely required but many planes have winglets added to improve the aerodymanic efficiency of the wing.
Planes fly better when the wings are on the outside. Usually any even number will work fine.
"Spitfires" were the main "fighter" planes. "Hurricanes" were important too, particularly during the "Battle of Britain". There were several other fighter planes too. There were also several types of "bombers" and other planes.
On September 15, 1940, during the Battle of Britain, the Luftwaffe lost approximately 60 aircraft, while the Royal Air Force (RAF) lost around 30 planes. This means the Luftwaffe lost about 30 more planes than the RAF on that day. This significant loss for the Luftwaffe contributed to the overall shift in air superiority during the battle.
4000 planes The RAF had about 600 hurricanes and spitfires at the start of the BoB Incidentally about a 100 Italian planes attacked the UK when it was all over bar the shouting
Cessnas have high wing, and most other small planes have low wing.
