Progress of the Restoration on Hawker Hurricane AM 274

page 1:
John Norman was able to purchase these three, brand new, 'old stock', Hamilton
Standard propeller blades that he has mounted on the propeller hub for the
Hawker Hurricane AM 274.  
The Backing plate and Spinner can be seen on the wall behind the propeller.

John has cut the 'stringer' material out and has now begun the painstaking and
time-consuming job of cutting each former in just the right spot, and just the right
dimension in order to fit the stringers into the formers to keep each one straight and true.
 These stringers are what will give 'form' to the finished, fabric covered aircraft.  
If these stringers don't fit just right, the fabric will show it.
