Avspecs/Yagen Mosquito Getting Ever Closer...

[JohnTerrell]

Recent mention in Warirds Digest, is that the aircraft will be painted in the markings of a No. 487 RNZAF Squadron example that took part in the famous raid on Amiens Prison, otherwise known as Operation Jericho. In the realms of Mosquito history, and the connection of this aircraft's construction/build (what you see in the end product) being tied to those in New Zealand who have been responsible for the work, this seems a perfect choice in my mind.

Whatever happened to Kermit Weeks' Mossie? I remember seeing it at an air show a few centuries ago. Only one I've ever seen in person, and I got to see it fly!

I think it's still in Oshkosh.

I'd have to think that if it were in Florida, the humid climate would have turned it to mush by now.

Or reduced to kindling during Andrew in '92. I saw it at the old WAM in Tamiami in '90. When I went back in early '92 it was gone to OSH.

Kermit Weeks stated on his blog one or two years ago, that he plan to put the plane airworthy again in the middle term...

Buf of course lots of planes and projets to take care at the same time

Yeah, what a dilema, which aircraft to work on first!

more thread drift... when I worked for Kermit I got several rides in the Mosquito, including an aileron roll over Wisconsin during Oshkosh 1990 shortly before it was retired. I like to say that I can always win a "Well I had a ride in...." contest-

Looking forward to one living just a few hours away

I generally don't like riding in airplanes flown by others but I've got say, I'm jealous!

The boys from AVSPEC's have been slowly updating their facebook page as well with some really good detailed photo's of the Mossy Restoration. Just in case people hadn't seen them.
