Mosquito KA114 rebuild

Hi all,

Not sure if this has been posted before, but I noticed there are monthly progress reports detailing the rebuild by Avspecs.

http://www.warbirdrestoration.co.nz/index.html

Look under ‘Current Projects’ for the Mossie. There are links for January, February, and March 05.

The before and after state of the airframe/parts is fascinating.

From what I have seen on the site it looks like she is going to have a brand new fuselage? What will happen to the old one???

Wow

I was there in Feb at Glyns and the progress since then on the wood is fantastic – well done – when we visited I never imagined that it would progress this fast – well done.

What are they doing with all the old wood?

That fuselage has scrubbed up well. 😉

How does this one square with your ‘Scrapping Warbirds – a real waste’ thread?

Thanks Peter. I’m really looking forward to seeing how it comes together.

One of the first flying warbirds I’d ever seen was RR299 (at Duxford) during my first visit to the UK in 1984.

And now the possibility of seeing one fly in my home country. Who would have thought?
