VIDEO: Spitfire Tutorial Series Part One

Post by Dreamsofwings »

Introducing your Spitfire. Calling it a tutorial series is something I find a little awkward as it makes it sound like I think I am an expert but having been asked a few times by subscribers to do it I thought why not. No self proclaimed expertise, just hoping for some newcomers to the Spit it might be useful.
Part One is the 'ground school' element going over the Spitfire features.

Many thanks Marcel, glad you enjoyed it. Yes the cockpit ventilation feature is a bit of a hidden gem!

Great video as always Rob!

Apologies in advance, because I can't help but ask :oops: , "Which wing is the all important pitot tube under again?" 2:55 :mrgreen:

Thanks Rob, I didn't have my special Port and Starboard gloves on the day I recorded the voiceover and whilst it was the Starboard side as we looked it you are quite right, it is in fact the port wing of the aircraft.

I’ve been waiting for someone to spot an error and post a comment and you win the prize sir! :wink:

Ya sorry your videos are so good that I wasn't looking for things to criticise, but my eye twitched when you said that LOL!
By the way, Port and Starboard gloves seems like an awesome idea to avoid further confusion!! :mrgreen:
