Re: SPITFIRE HFVIII

They flew them because that's what was made available to them. All early Mk.VIIIs were like that. You might be advised to avoid heavy manoeuvring at low level with these tips, but you were still much better off than in a Mk.V. They did provide the benefit of a higher ceiling.

Apologies for the delay in answering, I've been on holiday.
