Walter,
Please take your time ! (when the Good Lord made time, He made plenty of it). The Beaufighter will come along in its proper place in the story, in due course.
I'm sure neither Geriaviator nor anyone else wants you to "rush your fences."
As for foreign objects in wings, I recall a Fox Moth, which had been laid up for the war years, was found to be harbouring a colony of rats in a wing - but mushroom farming is a new one on me !
Danny.
