How can a RAF pilot with a bunch of hours in the 109 be more skilled than the other RAF pilots in their usual rides?
Because if he was selected to an evaluation squadron then he is likely to be regarded as one of the best available.

To be the "best" in a Spitfire does not mean he will be the best in a 109.

If you place Vettel in a McLaren do you think that after 50 laps he will have the same results of Hamilton? Above all if he can't touch the car's setup.

Or think to Vale Rossi... one of the most skilled biker of all the time that is not able to drive a Ducati correctly and it's always behind less skilled pilots with the same ride (or slower).

A whole generation of pilots learned to treasure the Spitfire for its delightful response to aerobatic manoeuvres and its handiness as a dogfighter. Iit is odd that they had continued to esteem these qualities over those of other fighters in spite of the fact that they were of only secondary importance tactically.Thus it is doubly ironic that the Spitfire’s reputation would habitually be established by reference to archaic, non-tactical criteria.
