Re: All metal Mosquito ??
Theoretically, it would have been lighter. Practically, it would have depended upon the design team's experience with aluminium.
I don't think it was an actual shortage of the metal, though one would have been feared, but a willingness to use manufacturing sources outside of the already overstretched aircraft industry. You were better off using trained woodworkers than having to train new metal fitters.
