Paulette, retired Air Canada Stewardess, is welcomed to the Tiger Moth Restoration Team. She helped remove the fabric from the upper left wing on Thursday. With George Inman, Paulette, Rick and Jill working together we were able to remove the fabric and strip off 3 layers of paint on one side of the wing. We'll flip the wing and do the other side today. The trailing edge needs re-alignment and re-gluing. Tom and Steve Phinney will be back shortly to prepare a repair list once we have all the paint removed so they can inspect the wood.
Removing the fabric wrap on the wing tip bow.Paulette donated 3 cans of Tough Coat, Penetrating Oil, #400 sanding paper, and more scrapers - plus a fresh loaf of home-made banana brad and muffins.
