Hi Tom et al--

Mr Twite certainly did have foresight.

I too think it's a pity that there isn't a Mossie on the UK circuit yet after all this time. There surely ought to be. I've had the distinct pleasure of seeing both the pond-hopping B.35s, 709 when she nightstopped at CWH in Feb 85 en route to Dayton (her departure on a cold, crystal-clear morning was unforgettable) and 712 at two of the Hamilton airshows Kermit brought her to before she began to suffer the structural woes that keep her just as static as the stuffed-and-mounted 709 now...

Especially with the NZ-based new-fuselages effort, I'm sure the reappearance in the UK of a flying Mossie is just a matter of time. Hope so, anyway.

Cheers

S.
