A lot of the veteran Spitfire pilot interviews have them talking about "strapping a Spitfire on and becoming part of the machine", however, they all comment that it wasn't an easy aircraft to fly for the inexperienced and it took a lot of hours to become fully proficient at throwing it around the sky.
More than a few Spitfires were written off or damaged as a result of poor landings by inexperienced pilots, usually wingtip stalls during or nose-ups after landing.
Let's not get into a peeing up the wall contest as to how much we each know about WW2 aircraft, eh? I'm beginning to think that I need a check shirt, a top pocket full of pens and glasses two inches thick to come on here....
