    There is another thread for Lancaster FM212
    http://www.warbirdinformationexchange.org/phpBB3/viewtopic.php?f=26&t=28409

    The plan is for all work to be carried out to airworthy standards.
    As to whether either of these restorations fly, will be up to, you guessed it. $$money$$ and lots of it.

    About a year or so ago they held a Kickstarter fund raiser (I bought a T-shirt) to pay for billets, to get machined in to spars.
    Their web site shows significant progress, with ribs complete and more.

    This has been one of the longest and most ambitious projects ever. She’s going to be a real beauty!
    I’ve been following this project since it was still in the jungle and will be thrilled to see it fly.

    Even if the paint scheme wasn’t correct for the history of the airframe? 😀

    So, Paul.
    Let me pose this question.
    If you were offered the opportunity of a flight in one of these two seaters, would you accept and enjoy it?
    Or would you decline because the paint scheme was not authentic to the airframe?

    So, out of curiosity, what would the current serial be?
    Glynn Powells website lists it as NZ2308. (is this not it’s most current identity?)

    If indeed, this is the machine in question, the serial number is NZ2308.

    I’m very pleased to hear that a Mosquito will be flying again in the U.K
    I’ve had a chance to see and hear KA114 up close and she is a real beauty.

    At Geneseo N.Y. in 2014 I had an opportunity that was not to be passed up.
    KA114 was pulled from the hangar and parked on the grass. I said to my friend Bob,
    “Let’s get our Tigers over for a deHavilland family portrait”

    As I taxied away to go flying, my friend Eric Dumigan snapped this shot of me with KA114 behind. (It has been the screenshot on my computer ever since)

    May the U.K. Mosquito bring you as much pleasure!

    Congratulations to all involved on the milestone!
    I saw some photos of this in “The Moth” magazine a while back. Very exciting.

    Here is a link to an interesting adventure of a Hucks built by some folks I know here in Canada. Some great explanations and photos.

    Hmmm……
    Lemme think…….
    How many takers might there be for Barracuda brakes?

    Probably a pretty short list, no? =)

    I agree with Bruces assessment. The only exception, is that in Washington State, it would likely be a flat tire. I’m pretty sure that they are only tyres when they are in the U.K. 🙂

    Definitely well handled with minimal damage.

    A perfect outcome indeed.
    This gentleman is a shining example, of a caretaker of a piece of history. Very honourable.

    I saw it on another forum that I lurk on (don’t post).
    I thought exactly the same thing. April, already 😀

    Great photos Robbo.
    That is an impressive bit of hardware for sure.
