The only flying De Havilland Mosquito in the world will visit Tauranga today. The aircraft is scheduled to arrive at Classic Flyers around 3.00pm.
It is the first Mosquito to fly anywhere in the world for nearly 20 years after it was rebuilt at Ardmore Aerodrome in Auckland.
The Mosquito will be on
display by Classic Flyers members (don't forget your ID) and the general public at Classic Flyers Museum until 4:30pm.
In conjunction with the arrival of the iconic aircraft, the Aviation Historical Society will hold a special meeting at 6pm open to the public, which will allow enthusiasts to see the aircraft up close.
Entry to the meeting is from 5:30pm onwards and a charge of $5.00 will be asked to cover costs. Entry is free to Classic Flyers members.
