Thanks for the update and pictures. Doesn't look like too much has changed since I saw her last year. I was lucky enough to get some photos of his Spitfire (outside), as well as one of the Mosquito, when I worked at YVR.

Even though I no longer live there, I plan to follow this project closely and be there when (or if) the Mosquito actually flies.

I've heard that although it will be restored to airworthy condition, that the owner intends on only flying it maybe once for pictures with the Spit and then grounding her. If it does fly, I think it will be a one-off deal. :(

Heard the same directly from the owner 4 years ago.

I'm also going to agree with Michel and warbird1 on the only flying once thing. I was told that quite a few years ago too.

Let's hope he changes his mind.
