On the other hand there is nothing to suggest that 1,40/1,45 ata was not possible use at any altitude. So far I have not found any evidence that this was mechanically restricted to the 1st supercharger speed, and it quite likely that it was not.

OTOH I agree that the manuals insist that is to be used for special take off conditions. Which is kinda parallel to the Spitfire II limitations (which limit +12 to take off conditions only), so it just might be good idea to include a code that this 'WEP' on both planes should be only usable when the wheels are on the ground.?
