Mozzie makes first flight since restoration in NZ

[MarkR]

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.

The Lanc at Werribee is actually a RAAF B-24 Liberator.

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.
