  Excellent posed picture..hokey though because the rivets are already driven, and, more importantly, there always had to be a "bucker" holding a bucking bar tool which caused the other end of the rivet to expand. If he were really driving a rivet by himself, his left hand would have to be holding the bucking bar on the other side of the skin/rib. Neal

  Another bit of aircraft nerding from me. The one on top is a Shorts S20. Below is an S21. Both aircraft were passed on to BOAC in 1940. The S20 was broken up at Rochester in 1941. The S21 was destroyed in an air raid at Poole during WWII.

  I think this is supposed to show a plating defect?
