I've decided to start this new thread as a continuation of the one here http://www.ww2aircraft.net/forum/warbird-displays/calgarys-mosquito-sale-23846.html.
We left off in the last thread with a series of pictures taken last year at the opening ceremony to kick off this Mosquito's restoration work. Since then, we spent many sessions over the winter cataloging and crating a lot of the parts, documenting parts to be removed, and building display stands for fund-raising exhibits for various shows that we attended. We also got our hands on a set of structural drawings that should help us a lot.
As this project is partly funded with public funds, our society has had to submit detailed execution plans and progress reports to pass various stage gates. Stage 1 was the aforementioned cataloging and planning work. This summer, we received approval to proceed with actual restoration work so we are now well into building lifting jigs and a permanent steel stand for the fuselage. I'll post on the following pages a series of photos summarizing some of the the work done over the last year. This will give me a good starting point to keep those interested in this project posted with more regular progress pictures.
