This article sums up the mosquito projects well www.scramble.nl/military-news/mosquito-newsQuote " Avspecs have a B.IV project for sale (DZ452, an ex-'Highball project' aircraft (that tested the Wallis bouncing bomb) which could/would be No.6 and likely the final one. This was the aircraft that had supposedly been the one that the now defunct UK Pathfinder group owned, or had reserved for ownership, until they switched to the ex-Glyn Powell T.43 NZ2308. This was then later sold and allocated to Rod Lewis when the Pathfinder group failed to raise the funds, and have effectively now ceased to exist as a group." Shane

what about The Mighty Skyhawks the hawk is one of our best birds of prey and the Skyhawk was the RNZAFs best fighter. and that way they can paint them in whatever colour but I like the black the best.

flyinkiwi wrote I heard a rumour that the C was able to exceed VNE in straight and level flight
While searching Flight International's archives they mention the CT4 C's max speed as 435 to 444 kph (this could be what they expect rather that what was achieved)

Is this the Willy Andiel replica that was designed in Australia? Would be a great addition to the scene

Hi guys I have a quick question is this Fokker DVIII replica a different aircraft altogether than the one owned by the Chariots of fire fighter collection or is it the same aircraft. I'm trying to figuare out if there are 2 Fokker DVIII's in NZ or just 1. It was mentioned a wee while ago that the Chariots of fire collection had imported 1 built by Paul Musso.
