BTW Did anybody see Savage Squad Channel 4 on Monday

Where they restored a rather battered Gypsy Moth. At lease they were honest and admitted it took at least a year to do this..

But what was really interesting was a demo of stiching the fabric to the wing ribs.. "To stop it completly shreading the fabric' if there was a hole.. I can understand this on Moths but did they do the same on ALL fabric covered wings and flying surfaces?? Do they do this on the Wimpy fuselage as well??

Never thought about this before now.. Until now!
