hi,

Im really diapointed that there isnt going to be a flying mossie in the UK. We dont have many of our own planes flying. i.e. Wellington, Halifax, Fulmar, Typhoon, Tempest V and a beaufort.

In this deal that the fighter collection have i think it should be something like a A-20 havoc, fw190 d-9,b-26, p-59. Or even a Beufort or another mossie? but not a spitfire or mustang.

i was shocked to here this news, i think we have lost so many planes to the states, i mean aircraft like the mossie and a sunderland should of been kept. But the good thing is that the Americans will restore and fly the aircraft. I hate good aircraft getting put into a museum (Kermit Weeks).

What i dont understand is why it wasnt sold to a British collector like OFMC,HAC,BBMF, and even the shuttleworth collection? Even just a Mosquito fan based company. (I would give a £5 to see it fly!)

Im not a 100% but there is a possibility of a Mossie flying because i renember that TA634 (of the Mosquito Aircraft Museum) was being surveyed for possible restoration to flying condition? But im not sure what is the fate of that aircraft. (they have enoth Static mossies, 1 should fly). Is there fb-4 TA122 just going to taxy? does any1 know any news of those aircraft? How rare is rare in aircraft ? Martin Baltamore rare?
