I’ve never been fortunate enough to be in the same room as T.43 NZ2308 but this article from just over four years ago gives you an idea of its completeness then: http://www.warbirdsonline.com.au/2014/02/11/de-havilland-mosquito-restorations-in-new-zealand/
From memory Chris Miller’s is MW404.
MW376 is the former Kiwi, now Canadian, project.
The website http://hawkertempest.se is updated quite regularly and has exhaustive bios on each surviving airframe.
The New Zealand F.2 became the Canadian F.2 a few years back after the death of the then-owner. I think it’s been in Canada for at least two years.
How long has it been since a DH.9 flew?
I don’t think I’d ever heard Kermit really swear until this video, and I completely understand! I feel so bad for the whole team. I hope the repair process is swift and not too expensive.
I’ve recently been reading a little about the type and it would be interesting to hear what happened with this one.
I always enjoy seeing photos of Peter in one of his aircraft as he always seems to be so happy. It brightens my day to see photos like that!
Didn’t a French example – F-AZZJ? – display with the late Leon Mathis at the controls in 2009 or so as a star performer?
Here’s a 16min documentary on its conception, construction and first flight: https://youtu.be/Q2VrKp4M6qk
What a story!
I really like the retro scheme, classy move by the unit! Very cool to see.
More great photos and informative info Graham, thank you.
The Canberra looks rather fetching now!
Will he be at Legends?
According to the interview/discussion video, yes! And in the same aircraft. Good stuff!
I thought it was just a nice paint scheme, but learning the same unit still flies in the UK makes it a very special one. Wonderful times for UK airshow fans!
Goodall says she (C-FGAT) was rebuilt by Buddy Bryan in Georgia with an R-3350 1990-93, completed by Neil McClain in Utah 1997. No mention of any further engine change in that record.
Thanks John.
