I would suggest that this airplane is not a “restoration” it is a re- creation. The only flying Mosquito that was restored is the Canadian F for Freddie. Almost all of the wood is original restored and repaired to airworthy condition along with the engines and mechanical bits.

A few lumps of metal from a wreck added to a totally new primary structure is not an original airplane. That being said the build quality is magnificent and the aviation world is better for having examples of such rare but important airplanes like the Mosquito.
