    Interesting airframe number(s)

    Mosquito PZ474 was sold to the New Zealandicon Government on the 23rd January 1948.

    Following the departure of PZ474/ZK-BCV for America in February 1955, the New Zealand Government prevented the export of the remaining Mosquitoes, believing that they were destined for overseas military use.

    Great to see such a lovely aircraft take to the skies again.
