You should see the rigging diagrams for the Hawker Demon. Internally wire braced steel tube (not welded) fuselage combined with the flying and landing wires etc and then the order of accuracy required between wings and tail....... hundreds of little triangles to resolve.

If it's ZK-ADI, I've been for a flight in the old girl, sharing the cabin with a couple of Hokitika old-timers who flew in her with Bert Mercer when they were kids. The pilot at the controls was another forum member.

Looking close, it could be Fred Mercer inside the aircraft.

The photo above is definitely ZK-ADI which had rather dark registration letters. ZK-AEK had very bright silver registration markings.

...and ZK-ADI is visible on the upper wings.
Looks like Bert in the cabin
