De Havilland Mosquito to fly again.

[RickRuski]

The worlds only air worthy De Havilland Mosquito was rebuilt at avspecs in Auckland NZ for its American owner and will have its first public display at Ardmore on the 29th September weather permiting. I will be there.

Would love one of these in CloD. Maybe sometime along the way if they ever make an expansion to the western front.

I've heard rumours of this coming over to the UK for Flying Legends next year. Even if it doesn't happen, I really hope it comes to the UK at some point. It'd be a shame to not be able to see it.

Very unlikely unfortunately. The fuselage is sitting on the wing, which is one big long spar, and disassembling it for travel would be a true PITA, so doing it more than once is very unlikely. Nobody in their sane mind would think to fly that across the world, so no, I think your "rumour" is more like most of us "hope" making a lot of noise

Again, I'd love to be proven wrong, but it's a very difficult thing to do, especially on such a unique wooden construction.

Oh well, there's still plenty of people with more brass than sense in Europe, give it some time..
