There we have our ongoing difference between the practical and experience vs theory.
Logic - how can you train someone to spin a combat aircraft without putting it in an intentional spin, plus experience - someone who has actually done it.
vs
Theory - the paper says you cannot do it therefore you didn't do it
Logic - if the fuel is installed at a station and we have pilots combat reports that says they used the fuel therefore a) the fuel was in use in those stations and squadrons and b) the aircraft had to be modified to use it
vs
Theory - I haven't got the right paperwork therefore it didn't happen
I havn't been able to find a T8 Pilots notes but the T7 was basically the same aircraft and the F6 was also exactly the same apart from the cockpit so I would expect them to have the same notes re spinning if that helps
