Dead right with the balsa floorboards Wonwinglo , we scrounged blocks of it from the nearby Scottish Aviation factory (Prestwick Pioneers etc). Trouble was it was brick hard and cut with grain vertical 5" max. The liberated alloy sheets were however cut to order! Still got a poker for the fire with handle made from brass alloy rollers from some part of a RR Merlin engine, price 20 Capstan cigs. Suppose the long arm of the law will be heading north right now! Hey , maybe we need a "Vintage Plane Slot" in the Forum.
