Of course, we don't know what a Spitfire would have looked like a year after losing the Battle of Britain. Do we know, for example, that engineers from Messerschmitt didn't take over at Vickers-Supermarine to work on the Spitfire as the basis of a new, all-conquering pan-European fighter, and make design changes accordingly?
They made it clear that it was the last surviving operational Spitfire that was being given to the Russians as a gift.

The plane was real but surely could have been GGI'd sufficiently not to upset the nerds, for goodness' sake.
