FB.VI TE910, built by Standard Motors, and sent to the RNZAF as NZ2336 in April 1947. Smith bought it direct from the RNZAF when they retired all their Mosquitos in 1956, and it has been sitting in that shed ever since, along with a P-51D and 2 x P40's and loads of spares and parts. Smith died last year.
People had been trying to buy that Mossie for decades without success. Very people were even allowed to see it and the other stuff in his collection.
