I don't have a free web space now so I have to use one of those free traffic limited (10Mb) services. Here it is again but anyone can can put it to her/his web space if there is some interest on this type  data if the traffic limit is reached again.

However, when Faber's aircraft was used in a run against a Spitty and a Tiffy, it did have engine problems.
Was that before this test?
It was very interesting to carry out the flight trials at Rechlin with the Spitfire and the Hurricane. Both types are very simple to fly compared to our aircraft, and childishly easy to take-off and land. (Werner Mölders)

Yes, the bench tests were done after flight tests to determine reasons for rough running (it's said directly in the doc as well as the reason for rough running BTW).
