Answer:

This is a highly open-ended question.

Is the F-22 allowed to go back and refuel and re-arm?

How many Spitfires in the "fleet"?

An F-22 carries (normally) 6 radar-guided missiles and 2 infra-red homing missiles, plus the internal cannon.

So even granting a 100% success rate with the missiles the F-22 would then have to use its cannon (which, despite Hollywood, has a relatively low probability of hitting the target).

Putting a jet into a dogfight with (relatively) low-speed propeller driven aircraft is fraught with problems for the jet: the Spitfire can fly slower than the F-22 which makes tracking and aiming difficult. It also means that the Spitfire can turn tighter than the F-22.

How many Spitfires were left after the Battle of Britain?

It's virtually impossible to answer that exactly without a huge amount of research. However in mid -September Spitfires were being delivered at the rate of about 4-5 a day. They were by then being shot down about 1-2 a day. There were 20 operational Spitfire squadrons then each having 12-16 aircraft, so this gives an estimated figure of between 280 - 320 Spitfires at the end of Battle of Britain.

The first official sighting of the iceberg (actually only a black mass blotting out stars) was that of Frederick Fleet the lookout, altho, since Officer Murdoch was lower down, he would have had MORE stars blocked and perhaps would have seen it first.
