DH Mosquito Restoration Canada

I’ve been privileged to see two Mossies (RS709 and RS712) airborne in the past; looks like there’s at least the chance of seeing two more in the relatively near term…cool…

When I was a youngster one of the Mosquitos from the THUM flight at Woodvale used to fly over my house at least once a day.

I did look up, always 🙂

Well I’m thinking about the Berlin Air Show, so there will be compensations…

I realised last night that there is a good chance that I will be in Europe when the (first) mossie flies (briefly) in my native New Zealand! 🙁

As the old TV ad said:
Don’t leave town till you’ve seen the country!

OHOPE–

Nope…the first pressing from Glyn Powell’s molds was in pine and not intended for use on a flyer…it did however go to Canada, specifically to the static display Mossie project at Windsor, Ontario, which is otherwise based on recovered remains from an Arctic survey B.35 (TA661/CF-HMQ?) that crashed in the fifties. Bob Jens’ airplane is a complete original airframe, also an Arctic survey B.35, VR796/CF-HML, that was a project for many years with Don Campbell in Ontario and then with CMFT in British Columbia.

Came across this update on Victoria Air Maintenance’s website tonight.

Interesting to compare with the Avspecs example in New Zealand.

Is this the aircraft which recieved the first new fuselage from New Zealand ?

This should be an exciting year for Mosquito fans 🙂
