You should never try to twist and turn with RAF fighters if you are flying the Bf 109. Its strength lies in its powerful armament (cannons) and good climb rate.

If you climb at 250 km/h, 2400 RPM and full throttle you can outclimb any spitfire or hurricane that tries to follow you.

Come in above the fight and dive down onto your opponent, then zoom back up. Wait a little bit until you get into good position and then repeat. I wrote a longer post about this on the simhq forums in this thread:
