Wonderful to see.... And I can't wait to see both in the ar at the same time, would almost justify a trip to a North American airshow just for that!

Robert Peel was there a few weeks back and he reckons the first flight should be any day now.

Can anyone point me to a website with the details of how they've restored this aircraft. I guess I'd come to believe that the only way with a Mossie was the Glyn Powell way given the likely deterioration of even the best preserved airframs after 65+ years. Obviously I'm mistaken on that & I'd be keen to find out more. IIRC, there was mention in a recent Aeroplane/Flypast mag of one in the UK nearing the final stages of restoration too but not sure if this was intended to be a flyer? Thanks.
Steve.

Tony Agar's one in the UK will only taxi, not fly.

I understand that the next Mosquito Avspecs are doing (T.III?) they were assessing the original fuselage for possible use? There is a YouTube video where they talk about the rebuild (well more of an overhaul really). Try searching for Victoria Air Services Mosquito and see what it gets you. |

We were very spoiled with Avspec's progress updates during the rebuild of KA114 - they were almost as immaculate as the workmanship on the 'plane.
