Damn that's a nice shot.
Any ideas when we're going to see a flying Mossie over here? Was our plane first, after all...

The woodwork for the Peter Monk/Biggen Hill Mosquito FB.6 is well under way in the Avspecs hanger, and will be the 5th one off their 'production line'.........Monk was anticipating it would be here in the UK by 2026.Any ideas when we're going to see a flying Mossie over here?

At the rate Avspecs now turn them out, that is entirely feasible if there is the money flow into them to do so of course, which it would seem to be the case.
Now, there is the question of getting it on a UK G-reg, but I can't believe Monk (and/or his client who is the owner/financial backer) would be splashing a non inconsiderable amount of cash on this if that issue hadn't already been addressed (despite what the People's Mosquito Project write on their website/blog/forum!)

Avspecs being in NZ do not have CAA A8-20/21 accreditation, which will make getting an Avspecs built one harder to get CAA paperwork for (not impossible, but much harder) and so this is why People's Mosquito are going down the all from scratch in the UK route, as Retrotec etc and everyone else involved have the CAA accreditation for CAA G-reg which makes the paperwork trail much easier. And as everyone knows the plane flies when the weight of the paperwork file is the same weight as the aircraft.....
As said in previous post, Peter Monk will have a harder, but not impossible task getting the one being built for Biggin Hill by Avspecs on the G-reg.

How many Mistels were captured? I was assuming they were relatively rare beasts.
Germany built about 250 of them.We (British Forces) found 6 of them at least, 4 of them in Denmark, and 2 others in Germany.
US forces discovered a number of them as well.
