Re: Comparative Tests Spitfire Mk V vs. Me 109 G
Given the top speeds shown and the weight of 3100 kg, I would suspect a G-5 or G-6; also because its called 'Me 109 Serie' on the graph - only the G-6 was in production in May 1944 when the report was dated.
The 3030 kg figure is probably a result of correction for less fuel after taking off and climbing to altitude.
The report was BTW posted very long ago in August 2003 by someone who I cannot remember exactly, probably at Olivier's board; properly the credit should go to someone else for this document than the one who branded it.
Here's the unbranded version for reference:
