I prefer the 9 over the 8,   

the 8 has longer legs in the MA but the 9 is more nimble IMO,

Long legs to me ;)

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)

But a well flown Spitfire is quite another story, I'm sure you would agree :)

LOL!  I sure would.  Sorry that I missed you for another fight but had to step out for a few and when I came back you had left.  They were fun fights <S>

The two 'major' lines kind of go like this:

I - V - IX - XVI

vs.

III - VII/VIII - XIV.

The two most 'popular' models were of course the V and IX, each aircraft being a stop-gap measure that ended up overshadowing the intended replacement aircraft, in this case the Mk III and VIII respectively.
