De Havilland Mosquito ZK-FHC - UPDATED 10 SEPTEMBER!

As the saying goes, good things take time - and that is indeed the case for Mosquito ZK-FHC which continues to tempt the gathering masses ahead of her much anticipated first flight.

Late morning 10 September the Mosquito was towed around to the fuel pumps - hopefully a sign of a pending first flight in the coming day/s!

Apt sign on the hangar!

The Mosquito has been rolled outside for what I believe to be the first time and it was chance timing to get it "on the move"

A delightful addition to the ZK registered popped up on August 5th with the soon to fly De Havilland DH.98 Mosquito T.III TV959 becoming ZK-FHC. While registered to the globally recognised Avspecs Ltd/Warbirds Restoration of Ardmore, the Mosquito is destined for a life in Seattle, Washington State with Microsoft co-founder Paul Allen's Flying Heritage Collection located at Paine Field. 

For a rundown on the life of TV959 go to http://www.mossie.org/TV959.htm and The Warbird Watcher

We are not aware of the pending FAA registration but note N959TV is available - so it will be interesting to see if this is used.

Meanwhile, we wait with anticipation for the aircraft's first flight from Ardmore hopefully by the end of the month!
