We have two more undergoing restoration as well.
Rising from the ashes...
A restored WWII de Havilland DH.98 Mosquito fighter-bomber was flown for the first time out of Ardmore Airport yesterday following a lengthy rebuild. As a tribute to the RNZAF, the aircraft wore the same colours as the original: No. 75 Sqn RNZAF – NZ2337 (YC-F) which was destroyed in a hangar fire at Ohakea 66 years ago. Fittingly, the two test pilots who flew the Mosquito are both ex-RNZAF pilots, Dave Phillips and Keith Skilling.

Something not seen for quite a while I imagine...
A Mosquito with a Spitfire as a chase plane.
