(From Wikipedia) This is one of the 1076 Canadian-built Mosquitos, built in 1944, retired in 1948. It was bought by a Albertan farmer and eventually the remains were acquired by the Canadian Museum of flight in Vancouver.
In 2004 Jerry Yagen of the Military Aviation Museum in Virginia Beach acquired it and it was restored by Avspecs in New Zealand.
I think it would be more accurate to say it was more or less replicated, the 60 year old urea formaldehyde glued plywood had deteriorated beyond useability. These pictures were taken when the airplane was visiting the Canadian Wartime Heritage museum in 2015.
