i asked my father who is getting close to 90 and was a fitter rigger starting in 1936
rcaf from 39 -46 and he came out with all the items mentioned in your tweeks and said it was not common but it was done but the best thing he said to do to upgrade performance of a/c was clean it removing all the dirt and dust that had accumulated in and out of a/c. It was common practice he said for the ground crew to go on flight test (not single seaters)
