LOL Now I know why Andy was asking lots of questions about 75sqn Mossies and after pics of 2337! Alex and I had to measure up some of NZ2328's original markings down at Ferrymead for him as well.
Andy emailed me last night to say he had a nice surprise for me.....I thought he had made a model of one.
What a wonderful (temp) tribute guys!!!
Cheers Anthony

I did a Google search for "Mosquito NZ2337" and found these two lovely photos: Mosquitoes NZ2337 (YC-F) of No. 75 Squadron RNZAF at what may be RNZAF Station Rukuhia

High speed engine runs to be done now, and then if that goes well,and the wind does not increase, expect news.

Ongoing. But they aren't peering at windsocks.
Later: making adjustments via little hatch on outside of Port nacelle, above stacks.

That fire was caused by an electrical cable being dragged across an oil drip pan on the floor. Beware!

Hopefully it's nothing serious and an easy fix Dull on the webcam but still looking dry. If only the webcam showed a windsock!
