i think the me109/bf109 is better but the brittish pilots of spitfires were better than the german.

I find the BF-109 to be cooler and better engineered, but the Spitfire comes second.

Wonderful, I hope these birds are kept in flying condition for many more years.

Dear lovely bitch. I hope to start your engine only 1 time in my life. I'd be almost ok if I die right after. Most beautiful aircraft ever. Long live in our memories Reginald Joseph Mitchell. Your profile face looks as sharp as your hunter. Thx a lot for that WWII solution. (sorry for my english guys, but you understand!)

Only things I think should have been done on this plane to improve it would be, Fuel injection to prevent stalling on areobatic manuvers, and a 20mm cannon or at least 50 cal machine guns. The 303 is fine for killing people or deer hunting, but when you wanna knock down a plane I think something heavier is desirable.

Nearly 70 years od and still the most beautiful thing to take to the air with the most stirring soundtrack. Long may the Spitfire live.

Some aircraft just look perfect and the Spitfire is one of them.

a spit goes "turn and burn" and a bf109 goes "boom and zoom",....its a totally different way to fly/fight
