I agree with Ozz, here, Johnnie Johnson would be a great choice, as one of the most famous RAF fighter pilots of the war.

I agree with Ed about the wings too, the eliptical wing of the Spitfire was one of the things that made it such a beautiful fighter, the clipped ones looked a bit odd. To make matters more complicated, in addition to standard and clipped wings, there were also extended wings that were kind of like the standard wing but with a much greater span and these were very pointed, almost strange looking again, for photo recon and high altitude interceptors.
