Russia Reactivates Soviet-Era Jetliners to Combat Growing Aircraft Shortage Amid Sanctions AviationNews – Russian state conglomerate Rostec has officially begun reactivating mothballed Tupolev Tu-204 and Ilyushin Il-96 aircraft to sustain domestic passenger capacity. This emergency measure serves as a critical stopgap as Western sanctions and severe production delays continue to cripple the nation's efforts to modernize its commercial fleet. The restoration program, which has been extended until 2027, involves refurbishing approximately…

Trial fit of the starboard wingtip for Mosquito HR339 as wing repairs continue.

Work continues on refitting engine components to Harvard NZ1058.

Robinson R-44 cab has taken the place of it's smaller sibling in the restoration bay.

This unlikely item is part of the radio rack from a Short Sunderland flying boat. Clearly the blokes at Short Brothers and Harland Ltd were Meccano Boys. Once restored this will be fitted to the cockpit section of NZ4112.

Lots of work going on in our workshops at the moment! #aviation #ferrymead #aircraftrestoration #helicopters #avgeek

Cockpit fitout continuing - albeit some parts are only temporarily fitted in order to measure up for wiring looms.

The blind flying panel is being built up, cosmetically at this stage, until we make all the plumbing. As ever, the Mossie looks to be going 250MPH while standing still.

Plumbing under the cockpit floor for the flap, undercarriage and bomb door hydraulics, brake and gun pneumatics, instrument vacuum and windscreen deicing is all now back in place along with the large silver gun heating duct and the various wiring bundles. The recoil mechanisms for the 20mm Hispano cannon will go in next, then the fairing panel can be replaced to hide it all away.

There is an amazing amount of stuff to go into the cockpit, not all well-documented. This terminal block is for wiring associated with the downwards pointing F24 camera in the rear fuselage. Unlike most places there is a placard specifying which wires go where. The placard was laser etched for us by Owen Booth at Wiseartz.

Mosquito HR339 cockpit restoration progress. Please support our work with a tax-deductible donation here: givealittle.co.nz/org/ferrymea...

Progress on restoration of the smallest aircraft in our collection, Robinson R22 Beta restored as ZK-HDB(5) which started as a very battered cab, a boom and bits. Still looking for an engine if anyone has a dead Lycoming O-320 lying around. #avgeek #helicopters #r22 #aircraftrestoration #ferrymead
