2)At low speeds
Right turns are tighter and more controllable (same as the FW190)

So where has the dis-information penetrated... ??
Those were not my words, they were the ones from the Russian source quoted by Gaston

My point was to point out that the Russians liked to use the turn ability of the SPitfire and clarify Gastons statement. RAF pilots were happy to go left or right.
