Flying Mosquito

Post by Tom-May » Wed Jan 18, 2012 6:02 am

I thought I caught a brief note about a D-H Mosquito being brought back into flying condition (Australia, I think).
If this is true, it will be one of a very small group (if not the only one)

Does anyone have any info?

Got to see a Mossie in 1972. New owner of Johns Hopkins' Applied Physics Lab's B-25 flew into the airport at Martin Baltimore while I was still in the crash crew there. The Mossie and the Mitchell made a formation takeoff on their way to Canada. Lot of people around for that. Great memory.
