Hurricane 1 max speed 316 mph, service ceiling 33,2001 ft, rate of climb 2,300 ft/min.

The 109 was known to be superlative at higher altitude, a captured example wasn't tested all the way up due to lack of compatible oxygen equipment so this wasn't known early in the war.

The Hurricane turned tighter I believe.
