Sorry my ignorance but what is monocoque? Is it an alloy metal, aluminium compound?
Joseph wrote:Generally for the frame and skinning aluminium was used as it is light, strong and cheap. Monocoque is the type of construction. A good example is the Spit and Hurricane at Ta' Qali.
What you are seeing as brownish in photo above is oxidation of the aluminium.
