Spitfire Maintenance Video (1940).

Another long one, 50 minutes. Skip to 3:45ish to get to the aircraft. Lots of detail. A couple of early take-aways; I wasn't aware that the landing light pivoted inside the housing while lowered. This aircraft has the early black port wing. The inside of the gear cover, strut and wheel well are also black going against what I was lead to believe.

The 1930s and early war training films can be quite dry. When Hollywood got involved, the films became better and often incorporated humor along with stressing matters of life and death.
