More steady progress this week with Laurent continuing with his skins, including some very large belly panels which needed rolling and shaping to fit.

David and Murphy have been working hard on the cockpit furnishings, with the fuse box, map box and morse code oscillator brackets now in place. Continuing with the interior, Paul has been working on the replica undercarriage selector which is now taking shape nicely and almost looking like the real thing!

On the wings, Chris has been fettling the auxiliary spar to fit and has been collating a selection of drawings and research material to be ready for manufacturing the next batch of components. Whilst this was happening, Murphy has been continuing with the manufacture of the various wing ribs.
