C-FHMJ Mosquito

C-FHMJ
de Havilland DH.98 Mosquito Mk.35
Regency Aero Lease
Built 1947
C/N VR.796
Awaiting start up for an aborted attempt to move to it's new owner KF Aerospace - video to go up on my new YouTube channel in due course. Owned by Robert Jens since 2014, but never flew after arrival, so it's good it will get a new home where such a classic will be enjoyed, I understand in airworthy condition too. As per wiki "Built by Airspeed Aircraft as B.35. Stored until 1954. Used by Spartan Air Services of Ottawa, Ontario from 1954 to 1963. Owned by Don Campbell of Kapuskasing, Ontario from 1966 to 1986 and during that time restoration commenced. Moved to Mission, British Columbia in 1979. Owned by Ed Zalesky of Surrey, British Columbia from 1986 to 2002. Purchased by Robert Jens in 2000 and restoration completed in Victoria by Victoria Air Maintenance Ltd. First flight on 16 June 2014 by Steve Hinton. Wears livery of B.IX LR503 "F for Freddie," which crashed in Calgary during a celebration on VE Day (9 May 1945).
