A de Havilland Mosquito comes to the Centre for Excellence

The KF Aerospace Centre for Excellence 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 that includes BC Sitka Spruce!
With a track record of 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.

Very nice addition. Will there be a Canadian passenger plane like a dash or crj?

Is that one o' them New Zealand built Mosquito's ...? How is the Tempest Mk.II coming along? Looking forward to hearing the Centaurus, what a beast.

It isn't. This is a post war, British built Mosquito that survived all these years relatively intact, so it didn't need new wings and a fuselage, like the NZ ones (which are just about all new wood). This one was restored in Canada.

You're very lucky to have a airworthy Mossie. One of my favourite aircraft, alongside the Spit and the English Electric Lightning. It's a crying shame that we don't have an airworthy example in UK skies of an aircraft designed and built in this country.

At least one is being rebuilt to flying condition for British skies by Avspecs in New Zealand. See warbirdsnews.com/warbird-restorations/glyn-powell-de-havilland-mosquito-maestro.html
