This means in example, for a 9°/s turn rate the 109 loses ~29 km/h, while the Spitfire loses ~22 km/h and has thus narrowed the gap by ~7 km/h. It's a trend that continues until at low speeds the Spitfire becomes superior.

And can we all, now that we have a chance for few days of peace, just once try to get along with each other in a civilised way? No polemics, arrogance, sarcasm and all these little annoyances for say the next 5 days?
