Hi Richard

I'm afriad I don't know about your Mossie, but I can post some new Whitley pics in the next couple of days. I've been folding hex tube lately - with a vice as still no brake :(

Still, the results are really good :)

I'll put something together for flypast & aeroplane when i reassemble our first rib.

Thanks for asking

Elliott


: Since the board has gone unusually quiet, I thought I woul

: up by an RAF team towards the end of last year near Hunti
: ngdon, Cambridgeshire. An old RAF friend told me about hav
: ing been involved with it, but since he's a bit busy right
: now, I wondered if anyone else had any information. Appar
: ently it was a Pathfinder force Mk.IV mosquito, and substa

: Pathfinder museum. The remains included engines, props ma
: in wheels, and tail gear, plus lots of other ancillaries..
: .. anyone know more about this, or for that matter the Pat

: Also, Elliot, any chance of an update on what's happening
