Re: Mosquito construction question

By "plug in the mould" I would normally understand the male part of a mould, so I don't get the meaning of your comment. It is clearly one part of a two-part mold, judging from the bolt fittings.

The photos I have show no place in the process for anything like that. Unless the manufacturing processes in Canada of Australia were completely different to those in the UK, which seems very unlikely.

If it is a Mosquito, could it be a mould for a fibreglass replica for a film? The view is perhaps foreshortened, but it doesn't look to be the right shape for a Mossie. It looks more like the mould for an underbelly fuel tank on a Meteor, or something similar. (No, I don't know how the Meteor belly tanks were made.)
