While so much attention has recently been on Jerry Yagen's Mosquito, nearing its first flight (still planned for September 29) at Avspecs in New Zealand, the airworthy restoration of Bob Jens' Mosquito, located in British Columbia, Canada, is also continuing to progress ever closer to its first flight. In the latest update, recent as of August, the aircraft is being prepared for paint (much like Jerry Yagen's Mosquito, only last month).

One of the cool aspects is that while Jerry Yagen's Mosquito is a fighter variant, Bob Jens' is a bomber variant. Hopefully the two will get together at some point in the future - would make for some incredible air-to-air photos!

The latest photo I have seen of Jerry Yagen's Mosquito is posted to this page: http://rnzaf.proboards.com/index.cgi...=16707&page=18

I believe the guys at Avspecs are working nearly around the clock, full weeks, to make sure the aircraft is ready for its September 29th debut and planned flight.
