+1 Great video.

The start up sequence for the Spitfire 1a_100 octane and the 2a are much abbreviated from the video:

1) Throttle open 20%
2). Mixture lever fully back to Auto Rich
3). Prop pitch lever fully forward to Fine
4). Open radiator to 50%
5) Magneto switches on (these will flip on automatically anyway)
6) Fuelcock lever up to Open
7). Press the "I" key on the keyboard to start the engine
8 ) Allow the oil temp to reach 40 C, glycol to 60 C
9) Use this warmup time to adjust gunsight, magnetic & gyrocompasses
10). Hunch down in seat and look unimportant to passing vulchers
11) Tap brakes to release parking brake
12) Apply full throttle slowly, but firmly
13) Use rudder to maintain straight takeoff run
14) Allow tail to come up as you roll using neutral (centered) pressure on stick
15) At 80 mph, rotate and lift off
16) Raise undercarriage
17) Pull prop pitch lever back (coarsen) to reduce rpms to desired level (2600 - 2850 rpms)
18 )Adjust trim to maintain desired airspeed (168 mph IAS)
19) Pull back radiator lever to 50%
20) Adjust trim (never ending job - Spits very unstable in CoD)
21) Monitor temps constantly (oil < 95, glycol < 120)

That's it!
