Been watching this with great attention.
Seen him turn a precision bolt(well 99.99% was precision engineering) but this particular bolt had to be precise fitmas he had the finished bolt in his hand he was talking to a fitter and when it came to fitting this bolt after a few minutes it would not fit even though they machined it to the correct measurement,turns out it was because he had heated the the bolt up in his hand just enough to make it oversize by about two tenth's of a thou....two tenth's... let it cooled and it fitted like a glove.
Crackin series of the building of the spitfire.
