Seafire Wing drawing. Rib, old and new. New spars and webs. Seafire wings collected in England. Seafire wings collected in England.
Progress is shown in the following photos.
AA manufactured the spars, webs and the skins and are fitting the restored ribs provided by us together with some ribs they have provided. We are having the original gun mountings fitted unlike many of the rebuilds currently underway. The skins are trial fitted and then will be finally drilled off and rivitted. The D-Section provides the main torsional strength of the wing and when it returns from the UK will be fitted in our jig and all the centre section ribs and rear spar fitted. We currently have all the material available for the rebuild of the wings and hope to commence assembly of the full wings in the Australian winter.
