According to ww2warbirds.net:
The experimental Spitfire Mk III had an aspect ratio of 4.23 (30' 6" span), but it never saw combat, so no-go for the mass launch.
The Spitfire LF Mk VC (and some other models) had an aspect ratio of 4.48 (32' 2" span).
The Gloster Meteor has an aspect ratio of 4.94. Not quite as good, but a very long fuselage, so still good for NoCal - if you don't mind a prop on a jet plane!)
