It would be interesting to know the angles of incidence on each wing of the
Griffon powered Mk 14 Spitfire.

We define
The angle of incidence would be the angular difference between the
longitidunal axis of the airplane and a line drawn through the leading
and
trailing edges of the wing.(Chord Line)
That was how I have always defined the term, Kermode calls this the
riggers
angle of incidence and says it is a left over from rag wing biplanes that
adjust the riggers angle to tune handling. It is my understanding that
some
ac have slightly differing angles of incidence on each side.
