Late Mk Griffon Spitfire Nose-over on Take-off
What caused this prop-strike and nose-over?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Geb8GXtqIMw Different angle: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FnVAPfCgjxI Were the late Mk Griffon-powered Spitfires THAT hard to handle on take-off? 1) The pilot was neutral on the elevator, but the speed was fairly low, so... 2) Was this caused by a soft runway? 3) Or were the brakes dragging? (Parking brake didn't fully release?) Bronc
