My Dad flew one with the 25th BG out of Watton and I think he and his navigator would like to be present at the 'unvailing' for the aircraft. But since they are in their late 80's, I need to make travel plans. I'd like to know when the Mossie will arrive in the Washington DC area and then down at the museum in VA Beach.

Took me nearly a lifetime to see one fly. Big change from seeing the Battle of Britain Memorial flight on a regular basis passing over head. Saw the Mossie fly at Masterton, NZ on January 19th 2013

Must tell my 87 year old mum, who spent the war years working testing wood quality on airframes of Mossies. Whenever we took her to see one in a museum she had to be stopped from climbing in to see if it had her own 'mark' stamped on the fuselage. She tells many stories about being taken to crash sites, etc . to take samples for testing, not to mention her favourite involving an RAF officer who managed to inflate the liferaft in the cockpit by accident when doing an inspection! Would love her to see it in flight but no chance as she's virtually housebound in UK. Good old Youtube will have to suffice.

All went well according to wbsite and the litle press i can see - all in NZ - is suitably impressed. As far as I can see all actually went like clockwork, only days after the initial flights - amazing. No real flight report I've found so far. Everyone who attended seems to be putting up their video on YouTube around about now. So this post is just a 'heads up' - just a stop gap for the tiny number of AH readers who didn't expect this so soon, until those with knowledge and who were there sober up, calm down and get back online. I predict some forum traffic about this later. If i am permitted, avspecs have a facebook page via http://www.warbirdrestoration.co.nz/current.html#ka114 on which i see ' "This has to be the best restoration I've ever seen," said the Mosquito's pilot Keith Skilling' Via Avspecs website: the first public flight was 29/09/2012.

Please look at my website for the images. It was a fantastic day and it really brought my childhood to life. I can remember reading every book about WW2 aviation that I could lay my hands on. The roar of the Merlins was brilliant. I hope you enjoy the photos. www.photofinishnz.com I was fortunate to be able to photograph yesterday's flight. Please look at my website for the images.
