Spitfire - 1 fuel cock or 2?

The CE Spitfire pilot notes shows that there are 2 fuel cocks, 1 for each tank. In game though, there is only 1 fuel cock, controlling both tanks I assume. Is this correct or a slight simplification in the game model?

id say simplification in the game model.. alltough its would be nice to have both... nice way to know when your on aprox 50% fuel without constantly pressing the gauge. by flying on the top tank cock first, and when engine cuts, switch cock and airstart it again

not by procedures i guess... but its a feature i like to use in the A2A`s Spit

The A2A version has two and i believe this was standard on early Spits. They are two levers next to each other
