As Treadigraph alluded to above, there are two Mosquito projects in the UK:

1) The Peoples Mosquito
This is a new build based around RL249's dataplate, being built in the UK by Guy Black's Retrotec.
They are producing new fuz moulds - rather odd considering there's a set in NZ...
They also have all of NZ company's jigs and tools for the wings.
and
2) The Mosquito Pathfinders Trust
This is partially complete airframe NZ2308 residing in New Zealand at Avspec, the funding will complete the restoration/build and the services of ARCO to deal with the UK CAA to enable operation in the UK

In a way it's a shame that they are competing for the same donations - it might result in neither getting to the end...
