Looks like the plans for an airworthy DH Mosquito is shaping up well back in the UK!Project Update: April 2019 from John Lilley, Chairman & MD
In March we issued a couple of pictures featuring a very large ship and a container on a truck! Asking you to guess what's inside?
I am pleased to say that the project has purchased and delivered from New Zealand wing and tail jigs plus tooling for flaps, bomb bay and fuel tank doors for our Mosquito! These jigs and tools made the wing & tail for the recently restored the superb Mosquito PZ474. Pictures show the 6-ton load delivered to our supplier Retrotec's premises.
Many thanks to the team at SJG Haulage for their fantastic logistics support.
In addition to this, I am pleased to announce plans to produce the first Mosquito fuselage mould in over 70 years for the UK is progressing well. The attached illustration gives you a good feel for the finished product.
The TPM Newsletter 'The Buzz' will be out at the end of April with more news on the team's activities over the 'off season'.
For those of you who are TPM Club Members the next quarterly edition of our journal 'Mossie Bites' is also ready and will be released next week. Inside our best ever issue you will find more exclusive content on the jigs, the mould and also some excellent historical stories and features for your favourite the Mosquito! ...
