I think the problem as always on here is the difference between dreaming and reality. Every single person who visits this forum would without doubt love to see a mosquito in the UK skies.
No one is knocking the project, but people with years of experience are simply being realistic. Anything is possible with the correct amount of money and resources, but there are big mountains to climb here.
A new build is a non starter, and a rebuild of a useable airframe is a very very very big project. As for the cost, it will cost what it cost and if you are having to ask to sort out your budget you carnt afford it and forget it now.
Propstrike speaks wise words re volounteers, every project needs all the help it can get and volounteers have thier very special place but this will need to be run by a profesional organisation who control it from start to finish.
How long?? its dome when its done but if you think that a Tiger Moth ground up rebuild will probably be 2 years, and the one nearing completion in NZ has taken 6-7 then 25 is probably not a bad stab in the dark considering your starting with nothing!! As other have said first find a suitable candidate then start shouting otherwise this is just bar talk.
I for one wish it was a reality, I fear it is not, even if I won £100Mill on the Lottery I would think twice.
