Apologies if already posted elsewhere.

More than 20,000 technical drawings of a World War Two aircraft have been found at a factory in Flintshire.
Blueprints of the Mosquito were thought to have been lost but were discovered by Airbus in an office it was closing down in Broughton.

"It is actually probably unique in the world in that it's a complete collection of drawings for every mark and modification that was ever made to a Mosquito," he told BBC Radio Wales' Good Morning Wales programme. "You could actually build any form of Mosquito, including one that never actually flew."

He said it would cost about £7m to rebuild the aircraft, which was largely made from plywood and balsa, with the aid of the plans.
Rebuilding a Mosquito capable of flying would please "lots and lots" of people.
