Cees,

Not heard that one before.....I have recently written to Mike Cookman so I will try to find out, should he ever get in touch!!! Lots of crashes to look into but this is the first lead on wings that I have heard about (in the UK).

Tried to search the the 'Wings' in Denmark but the musuems over there have never heard about these. The other 'rumour' was a single wing in France....again I have not been able to find this one, the French seem to be very tight lipped over anything they may have.

As an aside the construction of the Typhoon wings is very simple.....if we can get the drawings then these won't be a problem. The problem is the main wing spars!!! There are quite a few in the UK but they are all with 'collectors' who have multiple sets but won't let any of them go. I have someone who can reproduce them for me....as long as I can get the drawings or a sample....you don't have any do you Cees/Tony?
