You do know how to do a Google search don't you?

You actually need the Spitfire Mk.I manual (A.P. 1565A, to be precise). I am asking aviation book collectors via the newsgroups if a PDF copy is available; so far, I've had no joy. I'll keep searching.

The Mk.II version manual is A.P. 1565B.

You should have done it via "Let me google that for you", that'd have been more stylish :rolleyes:

[617Squadron]

Yup, that could have been really cool, if he was actually talking about the manual we really need.......:rolleyes:

Your kindness is underwhelming. :) What we were hoping for was someone to be kind enough to PDF a collectors edition manual. I'm sure someone will in time. I certainly would if I had bought the collectors edition, but I went download.

@ Capt Backasswards

The problem is that the Collector's manual is apparently missing pages and is also inaccurate, having used some details from the Mk.II manual (A.P. 1565B) that didn't apply to the Mk.I.

The absolute sticklers for realism are looking for the Mk.I manual. There is a copy at a museum in Kew and one of the members on here has said they will go along there to possibly get a copy of it. There are also pay sites that claim to have a copy of A.P. 1565A, so you could always pay $15 or so for it.

Thanks! Just trying to enjoy the entire botched UBI experience :lol: I don't have any doubt that in the next 3 to 6 months the guys at 1C Maddox will have this thing Rockin'. I've been in the mission maker the last several days making a mission and the NEW depth in this sim is awesome!

This version's more accurate than the CE copy:

@ all

I have a sh**load of aviation e-books at my disposal here, including lots on WW2 Spitfires of all marques.

What exact information do we need for the Mk.I Spitfire that I might be able to glean from these books? Is it performance data, flight envelopes, etc? If someone could be more specific as to what is needed, maybe they could list it in here, to give me some guide as to what to look for before I go trawling through loads of disks to try to find it.

I'm just thinking that maybe we could cobble some useful information together that helps us all and bridges some of the gap, until a decent copy of the AP 1565A Mk.I Pilot's Notes and Manual surfaces.

@ Cheesehawk

The Triumph Spitfire Workshop Manual is more use than the CE Manual, apparently.....

I know this is not about the Spit MK I but it contains a wealth of information about the Spit in general and it is free:
