If you enjoyed the video of the Mosquito at Abbottsford, and you appreciate the dedication required to get such an historical aircraft airworthy, you may be interested in the fact that Pan Productions, who shot that video, have a 'Kickstarter' campaign to fund the production of the full documentary of the restoration and first flights of this Mosquito:  https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/237898536/gaining-altitude-the-mosquito-reborn 

They offer some very neat rewards for various pledge levels; pledges will not be claimed unless the funding target ($15,000) is reached on time.

Video DH Mosquito at Abbottsford

Forwarded message - From: Dave Poissant 

2TAF MBA Members et al:

Here's a video of the newly-restored Mosquito flying at the Abbottsford, BC Airshow in August. This is the aircraft we featured in the August issue of Dispersals; it was restored by Victoria Air Maintenance for Bob Jens of Vancouver, BC.

An interesting feature of this video is the appearance of our own Dick 'Sandy' Sanderson (Pilot - 107 Squadron). Sandy traveled from his home in Kelowna with his son to the show where he ended up being interviewed for a feature documentary being prepared on this Mosquito. You'll see Sandy at about the 4 minute mark.
