TV959 flies in Seattle

At Paine Field, Seattle, the recently renamed Flying Heritage and Combat Armor Museum’s Mosquito TIII TV959 made its first flight in the USA on 23 June. The aircraft has been reconfigured as an FBVI and painted in a No 605 Squadron intruder scheme representing NS838. Its maiden post-restoration flight, in a silver finish, was at Ardmore, New Zealand on 26 September 2016 (see News, Aeroplane November 2016).
