It was a simple test. If you are above ~238mph EAS you should be able to break the airframe in a Spitfire Mk I with a single axis load.
By assymetrically loading the airframe, that speed is greatly reduced. The airframe should turn to confetti.
A dive over 300 mph EAS at full control deflection with an assymetrical load is pretty definative and easy to do.

Are there V-n diagrams for these aircraft available online anywhere?
