Amazing progress on NZ Mossie restoration

Sun May 28, 2006 10:02 pm

Hi all the progress on Jerry Yeagans Mossie continues unabated in New Zealand with Avespecs and Glyn Powell

The latest updates are stunning as the wing progresses and a fantastic pace and the Fuselage also rolls along - here are the links - WOW

Setter,

Interesting to see that the ex Peter Croser Spitfire on this Avspecs web page is captioned to...'Provenance Fighter Sales' of California.

Is this a Tony Raftis operation I wonder?

Peter

The Spit is for Raftis and hence Provenance Fighter Sales.

Hi Peter et al
I believe there is no tie up with Raftis / AveSpecs other than that they are doing two aircraft , the Spit and the P40B for him/provenance In any case the Spit was already there when he bought it.

The Mossie seems to be really shooting along at quite a pace - fantastic progress - it will really be something to see this beauty fly again - perhaps Wanaka 2008? If there is indeed a Wanaka 2008 In any case well done Guys and what a fantastic approach to restoration - a website where they reveal everything - no secrets and all on show - very refreshing
