There is photo in the Haynes book on the Mosquito of wing components being manufactured at Parker Knoll.

[irocfan]

does this pic show the plane getting on the plane?

[perdu]

I think I'm in the GG and Eric camp over this, dad always insisted that the aircraft he'd been in association with were aeroplanes

He KNEW this to be true because his Warrant Officer told him so and if his WO said something even God would have accepted it as Gospel

I wish that was the scheme for modern fighters rather than the plain grey

I was in that England last week, and I wasn't quick enough on the camera
driving along from Barnard Castle towards Winston, look right and see a Hercules flying level with me, over the Tees

it was going slightly quicker than me so it got away
