For those of you interested in the progress of the People's Mosquito being built at Duxford (WWII 12 Group, now the Imperial War Museum), here's a brief update on the progress on the Project...

Thousands of micro-fiche drawings were found at Broughton, near Chester in northern England.   The factory is now used by BAe Systems, in the production of AirBus wings.  A disused building contained a complete set of Mosquito drawings made at Hatfield in WWII.  BAe donated them to the project. (see attached image)
