This is the place where the majority of the warbird (aircraft that have survived military service) discussions will take place. Specialized forums may be added in the new future

Or you can just surf fighter factory's website. Click on any of the highlighted aircraft links, and that will pull down a link to other restoration projects.

I once heard the Mossie described as the result of two Spitfires flying in close formation through a piano factory.
Man, I can wait to see that stunning bird in the air. I've seen a couple of Mosquitoes in musuems (NMUSAF & EAA) but never flying.

Some photos didn't make it thru, please try again. I haven't seen before the site you linked, thanks for posting. His work will be the progenitor of all future Mosquitos. Yagen's resources and focus is impressive, and the work shows in flying aircraft. I wonder what is the rebuild status of the Mosquito Bomber Group in Ontairo, Canada? Watch the movie "633 Squadron" if you want to know why all the bother about a Mosquito. Awesome flying sequences (not including the exploding models!). For the long term rebuild process of Yagens Mosquito, see the Avspecs site and go to Current Projects
That Mosquito is going to be static, although I was told by a member of the group that they hope to be able to do engine runs with it. I believe the fuselage they're using is the first fuselage Glenn Powell built, which is non-airworthy. The rest of the project is being built from original parts.

The fighter Factory Mosuito is to be a flier. The first fuselage the Mosuito project made went to Canada for a static project. They are doing 3 fuselages, 1 static, 1 for Fighter Factory, one for themselves.

I would not be surprised if they get a few other orders in the future....Once the first one is out & flying
