Spitfire Flight Demonstration- Big V-12 Engine Sound !
What frequently confused the pilots of the later spits (mk14 onwards) was that the Griffon engine prop turned the opposite direction to the merlin due to standardisation of propeller rotation that came in after the merlin. As the merlin required full right rudder on take off to stop it ground looping (swerving violently to the left due to engine torque and prop walk), the occasional forgetful pilot would apply the same to the griffon (rather than full left rudder )with predictable results.
The clipped wings were to improve low level flight. The added wing area was just not needed at denser air levels. More area is needed in higher (less dense) air. You cannot compare the Spitfires with the P51s.The Spitfire was designed to be a home defence air superiority interceptor, so it had a short range and rapid climb rate. The P51 was designed to be a long range escort. Two entirely different needs resulting in 2 entirely different aircraft, and designed years apart. Indeed you are right – I stand corrected! According to Wikipedia (so it must be right!): “..some Spitfires had their rounded wingtips replaced by shorter, squared-off fairings to improve low-altitude performance and enhance the roll rate. This designation referred to the low-altitude version of the Rolls-Royce Merlin engine and while many “L.F” Spitfires had the “clipped” wings, a number did not.
