As a much younger kid prior to the internet, I remember this AC being connected to the Zaleski brothers in Canada. Possibly even Neil Rose who had a Hurricane.

It was up for sale just in a magazine ad with just the wooded airframe being worked on.

Yep, I remember the adverts running in the Warbirds Worldwide magezines for a while.

Chad. Built for the owner after he acquired it from the Zalesky brothers.

Bob Jen who owns in BC has a company called MillionAir.

Thanks Michel but my statement was not regarding "for whom" the Mossie was restored but rather "from whom" I received the pictures.

Isn't the "r" silent in French?

Not when you are reading it Brandon :-)

I would say the most difficult angle from my experience was learning to use the English pronunciation of the alphabet and not the french one.

Hence why it is so funny to listen to french folks talking in english.
- Tree vs Three......that H.....
- Tuscon AZ (I hear no C)
- Sword vs Swamp (The W is not always there when you listen)
- Etc...

Is that why so many non-native English speakers have a Texas drawl and say "y'all" a lot? That really confuses the people in the UK!

Often entertainment is far more interesting than education.
