HI!
I downloaded and checked your Spitfire Manual. It is great thing. Very detailed info like from RL manual.
Beeing little in topic i have some notices about your Spitfire MK1 performance data.
Firstly your maximum speeds at WEP ( +12 lbs boost preassure) are totaly wrong. Your speeds are way too fast.
Here you have RL data for Spitfire MK1 Merlin III ( both at +6lbs and +12 lbs emergency power):
Here is good site about Spitfire performacne:

Also i think that Spitfire MK1 with MErlin III using 100 octan fuel had different power settings - the same like Spitfire MK II with Merlin XII engine :
+ 9 lbs - nomial power ( climb )
+12 lbs - emergency ( take off) power .
+6 1/2 lbs was used as nominal power only with 87 fuel octan settings with MErlin III.
