Yep, I have seen that. In fact the CAF had one.

Normally there is a large
fuel tank there but if you tank it out this just enough

room for a man.



Delivery of the Spitfire Mk VIII began in April 1943, of which a small
number were converted to two seat trainer aircraft. This was a private
venture by Supermarine and was never accepted by the Royal Air Force,
however the Irish Air Corps were to later purchase the aircraft.
