Look at page 17 IvanK. That would hve been a point of concern for anyone. In a combat situation, try to imagine yourself trying to understand the meaning of to soon or to quickly when your plane just departed knowing that somewhere around there is a Hun ready to put the pipper on you.

.
Presumably the main concern was the Hun that already had their pipper on you that caused tyou to spin.
Concern? it's actually reasonably typical behaviour for most aircraft, thats why you always get the opposite rudder in first in a 'standard' spin recovery.
This is just getting silly now, analysing the finite points of the Spitfire spin qualities, but I guess some of you have gone too far in the debate to back down.

p.s. nicely edited post once you someone posted some great evidence against your original comment.
