According to manual Spit MK II should have power settings:

- climbing power (30 minutes) - +9 lbs at 2850 RPMs
- max all level (5 minutes) - 9 lbs at 3000 RPMs

In Clod there is engine broken after flying at +6 1/2lbs at 2850 RPMs after ab. 10-15 minutes continous flying

If you apply +9 lbs at 2850 RPMs you could fly ab. 2-3 minutes then engine broke.

It is not correct that you cant even fly 30 minutes at 6 1/2 lbs 2850 RPMs if you should be able to fly such time with +9lbs 2850 RPMs.

Other hand Bf 109 E could fly all time at 1.35 Ata power settings without problem if it was only 5-minutes emergency power.

Did you have radiator fully open?

I flew the spit2 all out (+8lbs) at 2650 rpm across the channel, had a dogfight and flew and back, without engine trouble

Should be possible to fly up to 30 minutes at + 9lbs and 2850 RPM. Actually it is not possible to fly even at +6 1/2 lbs at 2850 RPMs for 30 minutes.

What btw about the performance of the other planes, the 109s, the G50, the 110 and the bombers? How far off mark are they? (I am loosing track ... )

If it was done at Pas de Calais per most of the online servers, this can be accomplished in under 30 minutes.
