There is indeed better news on the Messenger than the Mossies - 633 squadron really is about 'what happens when you deliberately raise the gear on a perfectly serviceable aircraft on landing and then set fire to the thing...
The Messenger is none other than G-AKBO - alive, kicking and will probably fly this coming weekend at Turweston, where it currently resides.
Delighted to hear it! I cringe when I see that poor Mosquito belly in - even my girlfriend thought it was a disgrace, but then I am slowly converting her into a hardened aircraft spotter.
