The nuts and bolts aren't exactly tightened which can make for an interesting ride!
Welcome Wheels!!
Ah thanks. I think the G.1 wasn't exactly rickety, although it sometimes lost things in the early develop stages

Jan, I can't believe that you, being such a hige fan of the 'Mossie', hasn't heard of 'Cat's Eyes Cunningham'! The guy who was part of the myth about carrots being good for night vision, apart from being one of the most successful night-fighter pilots. Tut! Tut!

LOL hi alll again
thanks again for the welcomes,
Yep as said above, john Cunningham was 'nicked named' cats eyes.
Regarding the G1, I understand most of the were shot up on the ground outside the production facility early in the war. If it had been given a fair chance I believe I would have become a great A/C
Also, it seems the G1 WAS the 1st multi role A/C from the design stage where as the mossie was an 'accidental' multi role A/C. i.e it was originally design as a Fast unarmed bomber with fighter style abilities, Guns and rockets were fitted to it at the request of 'the powers at be' NOT the A/C's designers. Clearly it went onto be a great plane, but that was the benefit of time. Something the G1 didn't get.
