[QUOTE If you look at almost any aircraft in the RAF at almost any time you will see that it says intentional spinning is banned. That includes the Spitfire, however it doesn't stop the fact that spinning is undertaken.
Pilots had to be trained to get out of a spin in a combat aircraft, and therefore you have to be in a spin to learn how the aircraft behaves. In reality it means that it should be done under supervision not as a matter of course until experience has been gained

Don't confuse accidentally spinning with intentional spinning.
Corkscrewing is not spinning.

Re the comment someone made about arguing with non engineers, I served in the RN as an airframes and engines artificer in the early 70's if that is of interest.

He is not refering to "engineers" who would be called "Repairman" or "Airframe and Powerplant" qualified. He is referring to the ones all the Historians, Political Science Majors, and Lawyers started out as but could not do the math.
