I agree but the fact that they were in a Spit16 always negates what could have been so special.
The Spit-16 is really no different from other Spitfires. It just has more power. A spit 8 is almost a Spit-16 and yet people treat it as a skilled pilots plane. I perfer the Spit-8, but I fly the 16, because everyone is in LA's and Tempests and 51's, so the more power I have, the happier I am.
