Good luck in your service, S!
However contrary to the Spitfire I manual the Spitfire II manual does not state that the boost control cut-out will provide +12 boost and that it is authorized for short time and emergency.

That the cut-out will provide +12 boost is obvious, it has the same boost control as the Merlin III and it is also proven by the later amendments.
The question that remains is when it was authorized.
