Rich – we have one guy on the planet who seems to have mastered building Mosquitos. This is backed by a large cheque book and the provision of a Mosquito to form an identity and provide the metal bits.
All the pieces fell into place at the right time with that aircraft!
Now try doing the same without those elements -difficult to say the least!
Whilst we all wish a Mosquito to fly in the U.K -even with a large amount of christmas cheer I still think its a big ask!
David, I’m not doubting the difficulty… and it is a lot to ask. But – if Glyn Powell had not had the determination to see the project through, then we would not be looking at seeing a flying Mosquito in the next year or so.
I find it to be a bit hard to swallow to suggest on this forum that companies in New Zealand can do the task, yet a group proposing the same idea in the aircrafts country of origin cannot. At some point in time, Mr Powell and the others will all have been at the same point – with an idea and not a lot else.
The factors involved are known – money, identity, hardware, etc. Assuming the group can get it together, there’s no reason it can’t happen. I’ll celebrate a heroic failure as much as a success, but I’d prefer the latter.
Regards,
Rich
