Here is the Mk I and the instructions for the bob-weights to fix the longitudinal instability.

Get a clue. That document is a hack. It is
not a Spitfire I loading and C.G. diagram. A.P. 1565E corresponds to Spitfire V documentation. A cursory examination of the text will confirm that to anyone who knows what they are looking at. The 'IA' and 'IB' in the title block are obviously photo-shopped. You should be ashamed, but won’t be I’m certain.
