Hi, Roger
The filter on the breather is the same on all the spitfire models, it’s limited on space and if it’s upright it reduces the amount of oil lost, the top of the piston is pulling air through a 45mm throttle body and pushing it out of the exhaust, the underneath of the piston is doing the same through a tiny breather tube.
