Hi Peter,

Thanks for the update on this magnificent restoration, but you know, information generates more questions.

If you are going to use Hasting engines, what kind of propellor will be fitted? The three bladed ones are very difficult to come by I understand. Will fourbladed Hastings units be used as well?

And the tyre situation, are you going to use the same tyres as Airco did with the Blenheim, using nosewheel tyres as used on Short-types.

I've been to Duxord in May and it always seems to overwhelm you when entering the TFC hangar with all the activity and variety of types being worked on. Magic

Now I am in the question mood, what about the Mosquito, when will work start on that one too?
