Hello Cees
The Mossie rebuild with Harold Thomas is truly impressive, with a lot of attention to detail. The fuselage is basically complete, and fully detailed internally, and the aircraft is beginning to look like a mossie again. I think it is on its wheels, though I will try to get some more recent pictures of the aeroplane.
I doubt if Tony has run the engines on his aeroplane. When I saw him last year, he was a long way off! I believe he is concentrating on the trailing edge of the wing now, having built a lovely set of leading edges and flaps.
All the best
Bruce
