Great news on the Gannet, good luck with the purchase and ferry!
(can't say how much I'd be willing to spend, but I'd be interested in the front seat!)
Wanted to add something to the Mossie topic being discussed here: if I remember correctly one of the main problems with getting a mosquite airborne again is on the money side. The costs of restoring one to airworthy condition will be about three times as much as what the aircraft will be worth after the restoration. Compared to a Mustang, for which spares can easily be had (and, compared to a Mossie, cheap too), anyone looking to invest in an aircraft will be deterred by figures like these. I'm guessing similar issues will keep many types on the ground.
