Mossie Structure Weights?

G’day all,

Have checked Sharp & Bowyer as well as the dH Heritage Museum’s excellent re-print of Mosquito construction methods, but can’t find an answer to the question of “How much did the various bits of the Mossie structure (wing, fuselage, empannage, engines, landing gear etc.) weigh?”

Have the tare weight and removable items list for a number of marques (thanks Neilly!) but neither weights nor moments for the items which make up the tare.

Anyone help? (Bats eyes at Bruce…)

Try Glyn Powell at Mosquito Aircraft Restorations in NZ. What he doesn’t know about Mossies could be written on the back of a postage stamp. He’s building two new ones to flight status. One I believe, is nearly finished.
