Rebuilding a Hornet must be a very complicated affair. I remember seeing a very sad looking example parked on the grass at RAF Changi in the late sixties and making a comment about it must have been nice to fly. Surprisingly our Captain (Britannia) had been stationed in Changi on the Hornet squadron several years earlier. He said they were all eventually grounded because the glue was becoming unstuck due to the hot climate.
