1. Did the 109 recover from a high speedstall with only minimal control input? The RAE report says so. Hardly a uncontrolled flight situation then, i'd say.
2. Did the early Spitfire depart from controlled flight in a high speed stall with a flip over and a following spin? Afaik all sides so far have admitted that.

There is no dispute that the controlled stall in the Spitfire was not hard to manage, but then, that was not asked for.

Please, can I respectfully ask that you don't descend into this mad poo flinging fest that arises every time someone simply has a different oppinion and shows evidence to back up why they have that oppinion.

I merely reminded of the good qualities of the Spitfire handling after you had basically claimed otherwise..

Both the 109 and Spitfire had this quality.

I don't admit to this, as far as I'm concrned the MkV was the worst Spitfire for longitudinal stability, earlier Spits by default will have had better qualities.
