Legendary Aeroplane to Fly Again
HISTORY A British engineer knew that he had discovered a historical treasure, when he found more than 20,000 technical drawings on microfilm cards hidden in a corner of an old factory in Chester, England. The engineer only just managed to save the material, before the factory was demolished a few days later, and that was very lucky. The plans make up the only complete collection of construction drawings of the Mosquito aircraft, which the UK used during World War II. The drawings include technical details, which are required to recreate the plane in a historically correct version. The People’s Mosquito organization will use the drawings to make the legendary aircraft fly again.
