With the much-reported completion of Jerry Yagen's Mosquito KA114, a fighter-bomber variant of the famous de Havilland design, in September 2012, the early part of 2014 should see a second take to the skies, and the first bomber variant at that. Mosquito B.35 VR796 (CF-HML) is being completed for Bob Jens, owner of Spitfire MkXIVe TZ138, and will be based at Vancouver, Canada.
