Here are a few photos taken yesterday covering the Mossie and some engines for the Tempest project.
Will be up there more often from here on in seeing the Mossie ie getting close so will post more photos from those visits as well.

Great photos Gavin, I popped into the Pioneer hangar a couple of weeks ago and that Centaurus engine they have on the floor is huge!
