Can't wait to see her back in one piece. By the way... does anybody else think Jerry Yagen looks like he could be Hugo Weaving's father?

My thanks Liza for the pictures. Did you hear any opinions expressed as to whether she will fly in May at the show. I will come to the show, it will be my third time, if the Mossie flies. Thanks again for the pictures and please keep them coming.

Jon would be a better one to ask. As I understand, it's expected to fly by the May show.

My bet is that they will be doing engine runs in less than two weeks.
Don't forget. It's not being restored, just reassembled. Then it's just a bit of paperwork and probably an inspection by an FAA representative that has never seen a Mossie before :wink:
by the way, does anyone know what the N# will be ?
