Restoration is at Duxford.
Completion date is a Thursday.
Thanks for posting those pictures Geoff.
Very nice.
I can think of five other shells from these moulds.
– Windsor Ontario got the prototype.
– Gerry Yagen
– Paul Allen
– Rod Lewis
– Glynns own Mosquito (that had been offered for sale).
What is the fate of this most recent set?

Still following.
Still enjoying.
Great project. Great thread.
Thanks for sharing.

“Oh thanks a lot!”
A-10 Thunderbolt.
Ugly!
But well hung 😉
1.5 Million!!!!!!!!!!!
Can’t you get a Spitfire for that money?
OK, maybe not, but come on!
Wow!
That couldn’t have turned out better if it was planned!
Thankful for the good fortune.

Here’s a link.
What’s left is still there.

Yikes!!
That could have had a much worse outcome.
Very thankful both will live to fly another day.

My Tiger used to tow banners in the Netherlands in her previous guise as PH-ALG.
Probably towed gliders as well. We took the climb prop off of it as it flew like it was stuck in second gear.
Currently registered CF-MAD.
Andy
Oh that’s great!
I couldn’t think of a better outcome for parts like that.
Best of luck gathering all the bits.
Andy
Nice!
I saw that advert as well Mark.
What are you planning to do with them if I may ask?
I’ve been working with my friend repairing / rebuilding two bottom planes for an 82A. They are a lot of work,but a marvelous bit of engineering in wood.
Next stop, fabric. Almost a shame to see that art work disappear under fabric.

The Moth club published a photograph of all the airworthy Hornet moths in the U.K., save one, together in the same spot a few years ago.
The only one not able to attend was G-AESE, for paperwork reasons.
Both of those two seaters with empty back seats! That’s just a tease!
Thanks for the photos.

A swaging tool could be made from aluminum rod with a hole drilled in it.
The commercial ones are steel, but aluminum would work for a few of them.
Be sure to click on the picture beside the C-clamp.
It shows what some of the dies look like. The table matches the die with the grommet and fastener.
Get a few grommets and try a few practice ones.
It’ll be interesting to hear how you make out.
Cheers
