One of the most famous aircraft of WW2 was the De Havilland Mosquito, often referred to as the 'Wooden Wonder'.   Timed just right to go with the build of the recently released 1/24 Airfix kit which is being undertaken by Mark Simmons here in our Forum, this set of photos came along at a great time.  They were passed on to me by author Andrew Bird, who found them while researching his book on the history of the Mosquito equipped Banff strike wing.  As an example of how the British aircraft manufacturing industry was passed out to many smaller component manufacturers, the Mosquito allowed for something that bit different.  Who better to work on a wooden aircraft than factories involved in furniture manufacture.
 
This set of photos comes almost entirely via the High Wycombe public library.  A good indication of what may be hidden away within your local library, if you can find it.  These old photos are not on general display in the library, but by making an appointment you can get to see them, and as in this case, make copies.  The High Wycombe area is well known for furniture manufacturers and hence the library keeping these snapshots of local history.  Whether your local library has a source as good as these I don't know of course, but it does indicate that it is well worth asking.
 
My thanks to Andrew for passing these on, and credit of course to High Wycombe Public Library.
