You're saying the 109 is flying at the Spitfires best turn performance speed, I am saying the 109 is flying at its own best turn performance speed. Quite a difference.
No I am not. I am saying both aircraft are flying best turn performance.

Best turn performance is a specific speed.

In the single point analysis of best turn performance, the airplanes are at different speeds.

When we look at the entire envelope, the Spitfire must be at a slower speed in order to outturn the Bf-109.
