The wing isn't a terribly complex thing to build. If I recall correctly, there's no washout. There are jigs in existence with the Windsor group who are building a B.XX replica using the remains of a Spartan Air Services B.35, and some parts obtained elsewhere. The fuselage for their project is the prototype that Glyn Powell made - it's in pine rather than birch, as I understand it. The wing is completely new, and both spars have been made, it just remains to be assembled. I've also been told that modern glues do negate the requirement for the screws as well.
