Mozzie makes first flight since restoration in NZ

Ardmore yesterday saw the first flight since restoration of a Mosquito or DH98 for Paul Allen.
Wish I had been there.

JUST BEAUTIFUL

What would be the chance of a visit to the next Avalon, Temora or Wings Over Illawarra, just saying (else maybe a trip to Ardmore).

Great to see, RAAF Museum has a Mosquito which is/was being restored.

Magnificent !!!

Years ago, I was able to get a good look (inside/out) of A52-319 when it was under restoration at the AWM Annex.

The following website might be of interest

Indeed, now we just need the B-24 at Werribee to be completed as well as the Mozzie at Pt Cook.

Yep, had Lanc on the brain for some reason.

Hard to believe that there are only two Lancs in Oz.

One ex-RAF/RAAF and one ex-French

After WW2 we had two Lancs gifted to Oz.

Unfortunately Q for Queenie was scrapped because who needs two Lancs.

Queenie flew under the Sydney Harbour during a war bonds tour.
