Re: Spitfire heater valve quality, and manifold heat

[Richard B Gosling <Gosling_Richard_B@perkins.com>]

Carter, Barry, Nolan,

My description of the purpose of the manifold heater was lifted straight from a
 description in the (UK) Moss catalogue.  My personal knowledge is limited to
 the little I've read in a couple of years of Spitfire ownership - I bow to the
 superior knowledge of the more experienced members of the List such as
 yourselves!

Thank you for making the situation more clear, and adding a little more
 knowledge to myself and the others on the list.  On your advice, I shall leave
 Daffy's manifold heater connected!
