'The daily "chores" of Royal Air Force Ground Crews, Flight Riggers, Flight Mechanics and Wireless Electricians needed to keep Supermarine Spitfires operational are detailed in this 1940 instructional film. It features close-up footage of aircraft and crew from 609 Squadron at RAF Northolt undertaking the maintenance schedule required for a Spitfire Mk I's Periodical Inspection Certificate.'

A really interesting close up of the Spitfire, but thank goodness for you-tube’s 2x speed setting as the voiceover is incredibly tedious. 🙄
