I read once that during the early critical parts of the war, like summer 1940, there were not enough Spitfires to have made a significant impact.

my grand father once talked to a RAF pilot who flew both Spitfire and Hurricane. from what he told me he said "The Spitfire was a beauty but i prefer a good Hurricane with it's steady gun placement which helped me aim properly compared to my Spitfire's 20mm and .303s spread in a way the spread of ammo is bigger compared to a Hurricane's more concentrated spread" (this is not the whole statement but this is what i remember)
