Good to see you put yours up here Baz! Don’t forget the Mosquito FB-VI Restoration at Ferrymead Christchurch NZ https://www.facebook.com/NZMosquito

Cheers Anthony

Brilliant! Thanks Peter, good to see this back!

No definitely not. Please lets not go down this old path again……or do I need another coffee and missing the tone of sarcasm and tongue in cheek.

She looks wonderful and great to see her ‘clipped’ wingtips refitted!

Thanks for putting my Auster on there WE552, hope it is of interest to someone.

There are some great links there, thanks for going to all the effort!

Thanks guys

Appreciate you taking the time to reply, very interesting indeed! Such a wonderful piece of history there.

Nice to see how many of you like the scheme and the way it turned out. I’m still pretty chuffed with it myself and the pictures do make it look rather appealing to any prospective buyer. Shame that it probably won’t get to fly an air-to-air photo sortie with PS915 now. Oh well…

Hey Roobarb, if ever you are planning a trip to New Zealand, I have a HK Auster T.7 that would look awesome with your painting skills! Lovely job!

Mark is correct, the Avspecs guys are as passionate about this stuff as anyone…prob more. The wooden components are safely dry stored, in fact it was very cool to see the sawn off wing section with its original silver paint and yellow bands…would have love to see he painted back like that!

Maybe the owners will display it in their own museum with the skin off as a separate display on site? Much like some bugs shed their old shell and move on LOL.
