Hi Gents
Dont know if many of you are following this Mossie progress, but Avspecs are doing an amazing job with Glyn Powell building a fighter bomber FB-26 Mossie.
Here is the link for those who havent seen this remarkable project.
www.warbirdrestoration.co.nz/index.html
Go to current projects and see the monthly updates. The fabric is on the fuse now and the wing spars and ribs are quite a way through. When I saw Glyn at the end of last year he mentioned it was u/c compression legs they were having problems with. They seem to get water in them and quietly rust out at the bottom.
Anyway, a must see.
Cheers
Anthony
