Is there a flying De Havilland Mosquito anywhere in UK?

Thanks for bringing me up to date

Thanks to all of you for bringing me up to date.

Yes I hope that they manage to get a Mossie flying in th UK. It is truly an epic.

A lot of ‘dosh’ though (see what’s happening with dip in funding for keeping the Vulcan flying)

IMO there should ideally be a flying example of a Mossie, Victor and Valiant along with many others as there are many things still to be learnt from some of their unique designs and aerodynamics (even though we have all the CFD and design features/techniques that can be simulated on supercomputers)

Search on ‘Mosquito Powell’ on this forum and look at the thread about flying with a Mosquito.

Photos of the (presumed) last landing of KA114 at Ardmore, Auckland – I was trying my luck out there too, but missed it as I had to leave at 1715.

Depends on your definition of ‘on its way’, but removing the the wing etc is a moderate amount of work, followed by putting in ‘special box’ for a ‘special ship’.

No. The last “flier” in Britain was G-ASKH owned by British Aerospace at Broughton. It was destroyed in a fatal accident at Barton, Manchester in July 1996.

It is to be be hoped Britain regains a flying Mosquito sooner rather than later. The Kiwis have shown it can be done.

Sadly no, as you might have gathered from several threads here. The one in New Zealand is the only flying Mozzie in the world, at the moment. Although others may well follow here and elsewhere.

No.

There is only one flying example in the world, and that is in New Zealand. However, in a few days time it will be on it’s way to it’s proper home in the USA.
