Very interesting. This wing looks very much as though it's already had partial restoration work; the starboard side seems to have been completely stripped.

I also note that the spars seem to be pretty decent. And with TFC's Mosquito now in Duxford's Hangar 2 (and reportedly a large container sitting outside the hangar as well), I'm wondering whether there is a link. How's this for a scenario - TFC's wing goes to Sweden for a static rebuild, Merzian's wing gets incorporated into TFC's flying rebuild. Feasible?
