The de Havilland DH.98 Mosquito enjoys legendary status.\u00a0This exemplar of British aeronautical design genius is moulded around its graceful lines, its unmatched performance and unrivalled versatility. Unquestionably, the de Havilland Mosquito\u2019s story deserves to be told.<\/p>\n

Working with world-renowned aircraft restoration company Retrotec Ltd, we are writing the Mosquito\u2019s next chapter. Thanks to worldwide public support, we are moving forward with the fuselage production of the iconic \u2018Mossie\u2019.<\/p>\n

With your help, the first Mosquito to be produced in the UK in more than 70 years could be flying as early as 2027!<\/strong><\/p>\n

The collection of more than 22,300 original De Havilland technical drawings are being used to produce
\ncomputer-aided design drawings and profiles to assist in the upcoming work, the materials are on hand and the skilled craftsmen are ready to go \u2013 all that is needed now is the money to make the next part a reality.<\/p>\n

Our target for Operation Overlord is \u00a3600,000 by April 2025<\/h4>\n

To help us to complete this historic undertaking, we\u2019re offering you the chance to add your name to the Mosquito story.
