Yes, they INITIALLY came from the factory with the two speed prop, but this was changed starting in late June 1940 on orders from Fighter Command's Hugh Dowding.

"Spitfire: The History" by Eric B Morgan and Edward Shacklady is one of the most well respected sources for information on the Spitfire. The facts are detailed clearly in the chapter on the Spit I:

(there is also a little info on 100 octane fuel, but the best material there is to be found in the original files)

By the way, Kurfurst has already admitted he owns this book, yet he goes on about how the two speed props are appropriate...

Great extract thanks
