Just arrived this morning a large selection of DH mosquito underwing panels.
Marked with D98147A they are a selection of the lower wing fuel tank covers. They have the recesses for the fuel tank straps as well as the access hatches. They are all original wood but have been cut on at least two edges to make them domestically usable.
One is dated Sept 44. and others have WLS/DH on them to confirm they are DH parts made by Walter Lawrence. They are unflown and removed from the factory but large at up to 1.5m x 1.5m
They have had a hard life as an internal barn wall for the last 70 years but with the addition of some cotton and dope they should be able to be reused/relifed as Mosquito parts.
