Not quite sure what you're trying to infer with the [now] Jerry Yagen owned.....as if it was owned by someone else prior to be shipped to the USA....?
Jerry bought the pile of bits of KA114 many years ago (off of Jim Mezaarian IIRC?), and had them shipped out to NZ to be restored using the first airworthy fuselage from Glyn.

Shame Jerry is now in a financial situation that means the Mossie will either stay on the ground for the forseable future or be sold. A lot of the rest of his fleet has already been put up for sale (Spitfire, Corsair, TBM etc) and some of them have already been sold (Dragon Rapide, B-17G, FW190)
