| 説明 | Seeing this beautiful Mossie in the air was probably my 2015 aviation highlight. She is absolutely stunning!Rebuild by Avspecs in New Zealand, she is one of only two Mosquitos currently airworthy.She is operated by Jerry Yeagan's 'Military Aviation Museum'. She is seen before start-up at her home base of Virginia Beach Airport, Virginia, USA.15-5-2015.The following history for KA114 is taken from the www.mossie.org website:-"KA114, a Mosquito FB.26, was an early production example built at de Havilland Canada's Downsview factory in Toronto. KA114 was flown straight into reserve storage with the Eastern Air Command and taken on RCAF charge on the 22nd February 1945.Issued to No. 7 OTU at Debert, Nova Scotia on the 25th of February 1945, KA114 was returned to reserve storage on the 20th of April 1945 and subsequently to No. 2 Air Command reserve storage on the 23rd of May 1945. KA114 was next recorded in store with No. 103 Reserve Equipment Maintenace Satellite (REMS) at Vulcan, Alberta.KA114 was recorded as still at Vulcan on the 16th of July 1947 and was finally transferred to War Assets for public disposal on the 3rd of April 1948.Bought from War Assets by a farmer, KA114 was transported to his farm near Milo, Alberta, where it stayed for the next 30 years. In August 1978 Ed Zalesky heard about the now derelict Mosquito and negotiated its transfer to the Canadian Museum of Flight and Transport (CMFT). When Ed and his crew arrived, they found the aircraft to be in very poor condition and minus both engines and undercarriage units, but otherwise relatively complete.In the process of the recovery, the fuselage forward of the wing disintegrated and the fuselage remains broke in two when being loaded onto Ed's trailer. The wing, fittings and many other components were however in a much better state of preservation.KA114 was stored for a considerable length of time under cover at the CMFT's storage facility before being bought in 2004(?) by Jerry Yeagan's Fighter Factory." |
