For those playing at home I believe this is DZ542, one of the Highball trials aircraft that Glyn collected from Australia.

Wonder if we could crowd fund it to keep it in NZ

I just saw that too, it will be very interesting to see where VR796 ends up.

Excellent! If it ever makes sense for me to do a warbirds trip to North America, I might be able to complete the set of flying Mossies.

Wait till they announce it officially. Now official... "Kelowna’s KF Centre for Excellence acquires one of the last de Havilland Mosquitos.
The KF Aerospace Centre for Excellence (opening later this year) is excited to announce a de Havilland 98 Mosquito will soon be joining its star-studded cast of classic aircraft. Affectionately known as ‘Mossie’ or ‘the Wooden Wonder’ this WW2 fighter-bomber boasts an unusual wooden frame. With a track record for hitting top speeds on decisive wartime missions and flying high in Canadian skies, the Mosquito will bring audiences wing-to-wing with an action-packed icon of aviation’s past."
