“Last Witness” Bob Doe explains: “An average pilot could get more from a Hurricane than from a Spitfire. But if you were good you could get more from a Spitfire. A Hurricane was like a brick-built s---house. It was sturdy and reliable, and it did not leap about when the guns were fired.

Whereas the Spitfire was a musician’s aeroplane, a dream, the Hurricane was a very efficient workman’s tool.

You can see how precisely the pilot is able to hold a given acceleration and how smoothly the airspeed drops in the rapid turn measurements from the NACA.
It is little wonder why the Hurricane accounted for the loin's share of German fighters.
