I consider it a pretty poor response to respond to a question with another question instead of with an answer. But I did not expect anything else from you.
Soviet VVS turning tests show the Spitfire and P-40 turning to be on par, Spitfire models at 17.5 to 18.8 seconds, P-40 models at 18 to 19.2 seconds. Can't provide a link to an actual test report.
NACA 868 roll rate chart has the Spitfire with a higher rate of roll at low speeds.
NACA wartime reports have the Spitfire achieve higher roll rate at low speeds.
Both refer to full span wing, and likely metal ailerons for the Spitfire.
You can download all NACA wartime reports from
here.
You can also order
this study from the UK National Archives, it has a direct comparison. It's also available
here as a pdf. It again shows the Spitfire to achieve a superior rate of roll at low speeds.
And now? You want to back up your claims for once? Or will you be defaulting back to your usual insult and denial routines? I'm expecting no less, please disappoint me.
