There were rumours that Rod Lewis had done a deal to buy the Mossie, but that doesn't appear to have happened, and Jerry seems to be more keen on the idea of parking KA114 up indefinately than selling it on to someone who will fly it...........although I'm sure if the required US$10m was forthcoming it would be sold in a flash.
It's possible that by the end of the year, the only airworthy Mosquito may be a different one as the first post restoration flight of Bob Jens B.35, VR796 in Canada is getting very close.
Recent photo.....
Sadly though the rumour is this aircraft after having a close on 20 year restoration back to flying condition, will undertake a single flight and then be permantley grounded......
Again leaving the world without a flying Mossie
