Hi Dave

I asked when I took the picture and it was said that they had a wing.

I took photos of this on the fire dump in PNG all those years ago (I think it had belonged to TAA or some other airline) and there was a wing there then – perhaps it came back with the wing or perhaps it is another. I did not see the wing they just said they had one. The workmanship on the fuselage is very good so I hope it does get finished as I hope we finally have a finished one here at Point cook – although it is all there the wing needs to be completed and put on the rest of it – A real pity Dennis Dogett and the crew at Amberly didn’t get to finish it.

Easter last year – very nice job it will be when finished

Hi

Now let me see…. whats changed in Melbourne recently …..let me see …..new arrivals ……Tweed jacket and heavy rain forcast for Melborne and surrounds !!!

Hi DHFAN

I have read that the Delamination ultra sounds were done and Delamination has occurred on both sides of the fuselage especially in the forward areas and that was part of the reason it had not progressed up till now.

Hi John

I think it will be a very long time before much happens to the Mossie – the work required is vast to get this thing fixed and the damage from the wing cut is no easy fix – most Mosquitos de laminate so that also will be an issue – in short chances are that to rebuild this thing to fly will probably require a full woodwork rebuild and that isn’t fun – it’s just plain hard work and a lot of money.

My opinion anyway
