I assume it will be rebuilt in New Zealand by Glyn Powell.

You assume correct 🙂

By the way – I think the “Hornet” cockpit is actually an incomplete Mosquito FB cockpit.

Most probably KA114 then. Anyone knows the details about the progress on this project?

A lot of those pics are CERTAINLY not their Mosquito. The only FB.26 I know of is KA114.
I think one of the fuselages is the one for the Windsor Mosquito (off Glyn Powell’s moulds), and the other is NS631, at Pt. Cook, Australia.

The Fighter Factory has the other ex Ed Zalesky Mosquito FB26 KA114 (from memory at work!)
This was recovered in the late seventies from a farm in Alberta. IT is in pretty poor shape, but the wing is all there. The farmer helped the recovery team by attaching his tractor to the aircraft to pull it out of the weeds for the team while they took a break. The pull took most of the nose off it. I assume it will be rebuilt in New Zealand by Glyn Powell.
Interesting enough , if you view the Fighter Factory web site and the Mosquito pictures, is what appears to me to be the cockpit section of a DH Hornet, in the background it looks like fuselage frames as well. I assume that this is part of the remains in Acme Alberta, but I could be wrong.
