Cees,

I have no connection with YAM but I seem to recall from visits over the years that the wings you refer to are Hastings outer mainplanes. YAM acquired another pair (better condition presumably) from a scrapyard and the original ones are now "spare".

Regards!

:...one of your photo's show a pair of outer wings on a Que

: the outer wings fitted too, so what is going on here.

: I once mentioned that the outer wings of her were sagging
: almost to the horizontal instead of a marked dihedral as t

: wings had severe corrosion.

: question:
:
: Were they working on here when you visited Elvington?\
