The Biggin Hill Heritage Hangar's DH Mosquito, being restored by Avspecs in New Zealand, is expected to fly in 2026.

If jets are okay to be included there's Folland Gnat XR987/ZK-RAJ in New Zealand which is hoped to be at Warbirds Over Wanaka at Easter but is still in the shop.


According to this article the Mossie is planned for the last quarter of 2026.

I am really looking forward to the Allied Fighters' Hellcat and hope that 2026 will be the year to see it finished and flying. Speaking of Hellcats, I have to imagine that the Yanks' bird will finally see air under its wings in the coming year as well. I imagine chances are slim but maybe their Helldiver too. And how about the Yanks' P-47 and or P-51A, either of those have any chance of completion? How about the FHC Stuka which has been moved to Arkansas for completion? The last few years have been pretty mind blowing and it does not look like it is slowing down at all, exciting times!


Where in Arkansas ?

Thanks,
Phil
