I could have sworn I have the same document (the one further up) in English.
Will look and let you know if I find it.
Anyway, Nice input ;)
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)

It seems that what a good lineup of Spitfires would be has become a hot issue so I am bring this thread back to the top.

Just back home after 10 days in England and France.  Made it to Legends and saw many a Spit :)

That included flying, a Spit II, Spit Vb, Spit VIII, Spit IX, Spit XIV, Spit XVIII and a Spit PR19.

Talk about Spit heaven.  The sounds of Griffons and Merlins on the move.  Tried to bring one back in a suitcase but it was too big :)

That being said, the Line up still should be:

Spit I
Spit Vb with 2 20mm and 4 303s.  60 round drums for the 20mm and the engines of the 41-42 bird
Spit LFVIII, Merlin 66, regular span wings, drop tank or bomb on centerline
Spit LFIXe/XVIe-clipped wings, E wing, bomb or drop tank on centerline, wing hard points for bombs and option to take rockets as the 44-45 Spit IX/XVI could and did.
Spitfire XIVe
Seafire III

Oh but the Spit XIV and XVIII roaring past with those big Griffons sure sounded great :)
