SUPERMARINE SPITFIRE

The Spitfire is the finest handling aircraft it is possible to imagine. It takes skill and finesse to fly it well, but as soon as you’re “hooked up” with it, the result is infinitely satisfying. You just think about what it is you want to do, pitch or roll, bank, turn or climb, and with the slightest touch on the controls you’re doing it. The Spitfire is so agile and pitches and rolls so rapidly that it is just wonderful to fly. Being considerably lighter and less “draggy” than the Hurricane, the Spitfire is the livelier of the two with the same engine power set.
