    But don’t you dare to replace any bits. For the sake of it’s provenance and authenticity:cool:

    Chris,

    I think this is a magnificent achievement and it looks very nice. But I don’t think this topic should belong in the Historic forum.

    And what’s the opinion of the CAA about a new built flying Mosquito in the UK?

    Our museum has a 7 meter wingsection of DZ497.

    This thread would be more interesting if it’s dedicated to the actual build of DZ542.:eagerness:

    Problem is that the Mk V isn’t a rare mark anymore and they all look the same:o

    I have met Darren a few years ago when I was busy with the Hampden cockpit. He was very helpful and a nice chap too.

    Indeed lovely, a true labour of love. Would be great to see the complete fuselage in a few years time. The wings will be a hard nut to crack I think.
    I will be at Telford in November but will not be able to visit during the open workshop days.

    Don’t think so, look at the Lancaster (the UK no.1 type) and Lincoln projects that had been lying derelict in the UK for years with nobody caring for (now both of them are derelict in the US and Australia). You really need to have someone with an interest in the type and with deep pockets as well. Karl K is that man but his pockets are not that deep unfortunately but he has pulled off unbelieveable things regarding the Halifax.

    I don’t think there isn’t any interest in the UK for a Halifax project. Most people only think the RAF had Spitfires, Lancasters and Vulcans the past century.

    The Canadian team have parts for two wingsets. IWM would be the best bet for such a reconstruction project but don’t see that happening. Would be nice as they already have a nose section and the drawings as a starting point.

    But you never know how a cow catches a hare (Dutch phrase).

    There are plenty of wrecks in Norway, one of which was located a few years ago and a video shows it to be substantially intact with the nosesection broke off. But this is salt water.
    I once spoke to Birger Larsen and he told me there must be more about in the cool deep lakes. Luckily the Halifax has a champion named Karl Kjarsgaard.
