I seek to know if these planes have a system of locking of tailwheel. :confused:
I don’t find confirmations or d’ invalidations.
Would you have sources ?
Thx !! 🙂

Must have swung like a b****? Rufus Heald once told me that when on Typoons they took off with the left brake locked on to counteract the torque!

No, they are fully castoring on all types.
On Spitfires with retractable tail legs, there is a self centring mechanism, but it is not lockable as such.
