The picture clearly shows the edges of the Ply/Balsa/Ply sandwich that the fuselage is built of...look at the edges showing along the break.

Well at least the pilot was OK which is the important thing, wonder if the a/c is repairable?

Araldite!

[Myles]

No, Peter - it's in America. Duct Tape (Duck Tape?) is the only way to go!

That reminds me of some stuff we had in BEA...Metalic and silver coloured. It was called High Speed Tape...Amazing stuff

I am getting visions of Peter Happily airborne in various heath-Robinson style of repair Aircraft now, with araldite and speed tape :o :o :o

Hi Jim

That's probably how they did the Merchantman conversions using the ATL kits

Cut the old section out with a tin opener..place in new section, bit of tape lick of paint and 'tis done :roll:

There isn't anything that you can't mend with Duck tape, blue string and Araldite...
