Does anyone know precisely what kind of glue was used in the construction of the DH Mosquito? |

Aircraft Spruce used to carry it, but I haven't seen it advertised on this side of the Atlantic in over a decade. The Falco site lists some sources in the UK where it could be purchased back around 2000. http://www.seqair.com/skunkworks/Glues/ ... urces.html |

Thanks - I just read today that they used Aerolite but I always thought it had been Casein glue, not a plastic resin glue. The FAA/MOT's reservations about plastic resin glues tie in nicely with known glue failures on Mosquitos when operated in the tropics. Dan |
