They had a sting if given half a chance.
[they could carry more, further, faster, and had 2 crew instead of 12 crew on a B17]
have a look at the attached for the Mosquitos the NZ Squadrons flew
Part 1
Part 2

part 4
Part 5
The plane's solid.
What a waste that soon all those will no longer exist
They no longer do.
A brand new one was made in Auckland a couple of years ago, [over $ 1 Mil] for a customer in England.
there were rumours of an US buyer for a second one as well.
Woah! So expensive. Why will the US buyer transaction only be a rumor?
If its true (no smoke without a fire) I think they may be feeling humbled to purchase arms from KIWIs
A team of engineers working for a year hand building one aircraft.
If you start with a very small part of the original aircraft it can be "Repaired"
back to a new one.
they still have some of the scraps of the ex RNZAF Mosquitos to start the re-build.
As for being humbled, if you want the best, you have to go to the best to get it.
