So yes, you were low and slow.

The graphs posted by Black Six only start at 3000 m, not at zero feet altitude.

The Spit Ia's maximum speed online at 0 feet altitude is 253 mph IAS (max boost 6.25 lbs @ 3000 rpms -- there is NO 12 lbs boost modelled in Cliffs of Dover for the Mark I/Ia Spits, nor both Hurricane Marks).
