I know that the Spitfire wings have wash out I was told by an owner of a Spitfire at my Club, but in fact himself did not know a clear idea of the washout,...

The Willis Nye detailed drawing of the Spitfire in "Scale Aircraft Drawing, Vol II, World War II," show a 0.7 degree -washin- at the location of the pitot head near the wing tip.
