A seven year restoration of a Canadian Mosquito is nearing completion in New Zealand. Once completed, it will be the only flying Mossie in the world.

Excellent indeed!

Not quite the real thing, but a huge accomplishment in itself: a 3/4 scale replica

Default windsor mosquito

I was at the Windsor Airplane Museum the other week and they are in the midst of also building a mosquito. it is my understanding that they acquired the fuselage from the man in New Zealand. they have been building the wing while it is in an upright position and they have reached the point where they just laid the wing down in a flying position. Landing lights are in and they also have acquirre 2 brand new Merlin engines with Zero hours and that is a story in itself. Anyway its exciting to see an article on this site....thank you!
