Re: All metal Mosquito ??

Well one learns something new every week at least, the Pluswood sheets would have had to be shipped across on transports then, or had they a plant in the UK. One of the things I suppose we always say is that the wooden sconstruction cut down on the use of imported aluminium, but if the Pluswood was being shipped across the Atlantic anyway....

Here is a little Popular Mechanics article about it, hope the link works:

Interesting, thanks for the input.
