de Havilland Mosquito Startup, Omaka Aviation. 4K

The combat aircraft was among the treasure trove of aviation history salvaged from the shed of Mapua-based collector John Smith in 2020, after his death the year before. The Mosquito was an “incredibly rare” aircraft. Of the 7800 built for Allied forces in World War II, only 31 remained, and only five of those could still have their engines run, this craft being the only one in the Southern Hemisphere. The Mosquito was bought by Smith as a young man. He won a tender to buy it from Base Woodbourne in 1955. It sparked in Smith a lifetime passion for saving pieces of aviation history from being destroyed.
