• There seems to be an uptick in Political comments in recent months. Those of us who are long time members of the site know that Political and Religious content has been banned for years. Nothing has changed. Please leave all political and religious comments out of the forums.

    If you recently joined the forums you were not presented with this restriction in the terms of service. This was due to a conversion error when we went from vBulletin to Xenforo. We have updated our terms of service to reflect these corrections.

    Please note any post refering to a politician will be considered political even if it is intended to be humor. Our experience is these topics have a way of dividing the forums and causing deep resentment among members. It is a poison to the community. We appreciate compliance with the rules.

Mozzie blueprints found

As I understand, these were the sets of microfilm that were used in the operation/maintenance of the BAE Mosquito RR299 (prior to the crash in 1996). The full original master set of Mosquito drawings has been kept safe with de Havilland Aviation, now stored at Duxford, but with severely limited to no accessibility by outside individuals, unfortunately - meaning that those in England or elsewhere looking to possibly restore/build an original Mosquito to fly have had little to no luck in being able to access them. That's what makes finding/having these microfilm copies a big deal. Of course, meanwhile, flying Mosquitoes continue to roll out of Avspecs in New Zealand, with the next one set to fly in the spring of 2018 (to be the fourth airworthy Mosquito), but all based with owners/operators in North America.
