OOPS! So it is, Six stub exhausts! I was looking at the tailplane shape!
Having said that, earlier MKIXs did use the MkV airframe, so the appearance was very similar, the main difference of course being that the MKIX had Two radiators beneath the wings, whereas MKVs had One Rad and One Oil Cooler; later production examples had the more pointed tail/rudder and a greater surface area to counter the higher torque of the more powerful merlin and gryphon engines.
As awesome Chanukah gift for all of you, allow me to present a nice Chanukah flight full of sky beauty from EFRO Rovaniemi Airport located about 6 miles north of city centre of Rovaniemi to ENTC Tromsø Airport located on the western shore of the island of Tromsøya at Langnes in Tromsø, Norway.
Airborne on climb to FL300 to execute the specific flight plan consisted of waypoints: SITSO BISRO ATA RATUL HTK TRO22
Still climbing
You can see icing effects on engine and wings
Almost reaching FL300
