Dynamically there was enough commonality with the Mk XIV and PR XIX for A.P.1565T & W to be issued in 1946 , a joint Pilots Notes for both XIV and XIX. As the PR XI is to the Mk IX I have have always felt the PR XIX is to the Mk XIV, although I know the origins of the structure and particularly the spar area go right back to Mk V.
