Glad to see that the rumours that this Mosquito was going to be hangar - bound were somewhat premature.

Great to see F-for-Freddie out and about!

Hi folks - infrequent poster here, but I just wanted to share that I was at the Abbotsford airshow on the Saturday, and found this youtube video (not mine) taken that day of the Mosquito. What a beauty.

It was a real thrill to see her in the air and up close! In the video you see former Mossie pilot 98 year old Bill Marr being given the guided tour. Bill was shown much respect by the airshow folks and the crowd around the Mossie. (It was nice to also see a F8F, F7F and four P51s!)

Cheers,
John
