Great shots! I worked as an aircraft mechanic for a couple of years, and seeing all those zink chromated parts all clikoed together brings back wonderful memories!
Thanks Mate... :D

Great Greg...as I've been appointed the Museum's official photographer, I can enter any time I like to do up-dates and photograph anything that's going on so there will be more...

Those are called Cleco pins and they are inserted into drill holes on two mating parts to keep them in perfect alignment during the riveting process.

Thanks Bruce, I guess you have your answer...when you consider all those bits are hand and made by volunteers it really puts their excellent work in to perspective... :-D
