As with many previous era aircraft, and especially those built in the UK, where they were hand built rather than on a mass-production line, its always the case that the skills and knowledge is lost over time in how they were put together, how they were made etc. But great to see those at the Imperial War Museum doing a fantastic job on this Victor, even though it won't fly due to current flying certificate requirements.
