They are to stop the target from wrapping itself around the tail

Presumably guards to stop the tow-line getting tangled in the control surfaces.

She looks stunning but, pardon my ignorance, what are the Sketchley wire coat hangar-things around the tailplane?

am sorting out photos of the TT winch for her this weekend….

Wow..wonderful bird and great restoration job
It was actually just a re-paint rather than a ‘restoration’.

Wow..wonderful bird and great restoration job….wish it could fly? When was the last time a real Mossie flew at Duxford? This and a P-38 would be wonderful for all to see and enjoy!

Looks nice…aren’t there some ‘Day Glo’ orange stripes missing???? :confused:
This is how she looked when first converted to a TT.35. The dayglo stripes were a product of the early ’60s and were not added until the last few years of service.

Thanks for all the great photos. I was one of the volunteer restoration team but due to business was not able to attend. Please note the number ’56’ is bang on and if anyone wants any shots of the lettering phase please ask.
Also I note a few challenges for ‘day glo’ strips. The paint scheme followed many photos of the time of TA719 in service with the CAACU and never wore those. The corgi model of VP191 no. 54 has these so people assume. In fact we have a photo of 54 & 56 in flight and you can see where on 54 the ‘day glo’ has been over sprayed.
The props are fibre glass and there are no merlins to answer another query.
Onto the next project!

Laharve,
If you ‘copy’ the content of the image tab on the photo in bucketshop and then ‘paste’ into your post we see the image.

I’m not sure if they can correct the pitch as i think the blades are made from fibreglass, with I guess a fabricated prop hub of some description.

She does look stunning but I have a question. What is wrong with the prop pitch on BOTH sides? I know there are no engines fitted but they need to address the pitch problems as there are differences in the left prop individual blades and the right prop pitch angle.

Dave – I had similar problems when I first set up my new PC. Got this fandabby new security software that was even blocking Internet Explorer from opening up! Had to restore the PC back to an earlier configuration and this sorted it! :rolleyes:

Wonderful photos, thanks Stewart and Gary. Well done.
So is April 11th the first flight?
Or is that when it gets strung up?
B17man – as they are hosted off-site by some other web photo host (due to the photo posting crisis) your firewall or some other security software is probably not allowing them to load. I had this problem a while back when I had installed a brilliant security programme called Secretmaker (which was free and stopped all the security problems the expensive ones don’t!) but I had to uninstall is because it blocked hosted photos here, at Wix, on ebay, trademe and other places. Pity.

Everyone agrees that they are great shots………..but for some reason I cannot see them on my PC, Have I missed something??

Nice pics, Stewart and Septic. Thanks for posting. They seem to have had a good turn-out by the veterans today as well. 🙂
I was hoping to get there myself, but work got in the way again………. 🙁
Does anyone know if they are planning on fitting a target winch before the aircraft is hung up?
i think they are trying to secure a winch???? im sure i read that somewhere
