This would effectively be fight over, or at least me having a major advantage, with the P51 caught at low speed, not enough altitude to trade for speed and not having a low speed manoeuvrability advantage over the Bf109.
Also, isn't it true that BF-109 pilots were often concerned about pushing their plane to the absolute limit in a turn because the wings were quite weak and might snap off? I'm sure I've read that in 'Fighter: The True Story of the Battle of Britain' by Len Deighton.
