I guess Canadian web sites don't do too much fact checking.
They state in their web page that this Mossie is; "the World's only
known flying original Mosquito." They obviously missed the restoration
done in New Zealand by AvSpecs, bringing their DH98 (KA114-T43) into
airworthy condition before delivery to Norfolk, VA. US by about two
years.
