I’d say, without a great deal of knowledge, that the Mustang was a heavier
machine with longer legs. The Spitfire and Hurricane were probably more agile,
not quite as fast and with a shorter range.
I’ve just found a pretty useful comparison on this website:
https://www.aerotoons.com/blog/spitfire_vs_mustang.html
It doesn’t mention turn performance, except for Eric Brown’s summary, but it
does mention the much higher max AUW of the Mustang.
Of course I’d love a go in either . . .
