The End wasn't The End - Found a new home after the great exodus of 2012

Spitfires also used carburetors, so the engine could stall if the plane flew upside down or pitched down too hard, causing the gasoline to spill out. The Me 109 had fuel injection, so the engine could have uninterrupted fuel flow regardless of maneuvering.
 
The Spitfires were almost the equal of the Me 109s, but mostly they had home court advantage, the element of surprise and better positioning due to the (then-secret) Chain Home radar stations, and pilots who weren’t tired from already flying a long way to get over Britain.
