Since Hairy has not posted his excellent photos on this site, I thought I’d put up a link to the RNZAF Forum where he has shared photos of the Auckland Mossie getting it’s wings fitted

Yes, I saw it in May last year, looking a bit like a kitset all stored away. It is great to see its wings on and looking like a plane again. However I do wonder how they will arrange things hangar-wise. I hope one of the aircraft currently under cover is not having to go outside permanently because of this – especially the beautifully restored Hudson that has been pushed out temporarily.

Thanks for the link Dave, she does look great, and appears to have come on a very long way since I saw her tucked up the corner in the restoration hanger just 15 months ago!
Well done to all involved for their hard work so far.
