Another Mossie flying

[HBPencil]

Today AvSpecs' third Mossie had its first flight. Yet to find any vids on YouTube but the NZ Warbirds Association has several on their Facebook page:

I live 30mins drive from Ardmore Airport and pop out now and then to see what AvSpecs and Pioneer Aero are restoring.

Now that's one aircraft I'd love to see in Great Battles.

Here's another beauty, just down the road from me!

Nice, that's the one being restored to taxing condition I believe?

Some time ago there was an announcement that AvSpecs would team up with the Biggin Hill Heritage Hanger to get a Mossie flying in the UK, I haven't heard any more about that but more recently there was this vid from the Mosquito Pathfinder Trust so hopefully it won't be too long before you guys get a Mossie back in the British skies.
