Right at the end of the TV report they suggest they've begun to (re)build another so fingers crossed......
Yes.Right at the end of the TV report they suggest they've begun to (re)build another so fingers crossed......
Avspecs have the contract to rebuild the ex-IWM/TFC Mosquito T.3 that was bought by Paul Allen's Flying Heritage Collection.....so, the USA will have 2 airworthy Mossie's by the end of this decade.

Why did the Mosquito only show 5 stub exhuasts on each side of the engines whereas the Hurricane, Sptifire & Lancaster (IIRC) showed 6 per side?
On the single stage Merlin 25s which were the main Merlin used on Mosquitos, the proximity of the wooden wing on the Mosquito to the exhaust stubs of the Merlin forced RR engineers to have a two into one stub on the last cylinder of each bank.I think later two stage Merlin powered Mossie's may have six stubs as the nacelles were longer to accomodate the longer two-stage engines....?
