Aircraft peformances, is this joke ?

What figures are you using as your real life ones?

The only reason I ask is that the usual figures for Mk I/II come from aircraft that were quite a bit lighter than BoB trim aircraft.

Any idea what the AUW is for your RL numbers?

Winny,

"Spitfire, A Test Pilot's Story" from Jeffrey Quill
"Sigh for a Merlin, Testing the Spitfire" from Alex Henshaw
"The Story of the Spitfire, An operational and combat story" from Ken Delve
"Spitfire, The history" from Eric B. Morgan & Edward Shacklady

All being very good lectures.

Just out of curiosity do these references give consistent data (same or similar performace) for any of the given Spit variants?
