I'm under the impression that there was a "rush job" done on all the fighters (RAF and LW) re flight modelling. The Spitfire in particular seemed to have been pushed out the door too quickly. Aside from the hugely flawed flight model, other glaring indicators of hasty work are:

1) incorrect external sound. Spits & Hurries sound like diesel semi trucks. The 109's also sounded lame until corrected in later patch.
2) Spitfire mixture control animation reversed. Causes many an unnecessary blown Merlin to the unwary Hurricane pilot transitioning over to Spits.
3) Spit trim control animations (both rudder and elevator) non-functioning; although fortunately the actual trimming can be done by keyboard command.

The devil is in the detail, as they say, and it's significant that the three above dysfunctional features have not been corrected after 9 months of a series of patches. These would be simple fixes, I'm not confident that more complex flight modelling adjustments will be made in the much-anticipated upcoming patch.

I'm hoping threads such as this will be given enough serious consideration by the devs that these flaws will indeed be addressed in a straightforward, non-obfuscating, manner.
