Mosquito prototype receives lottery boost

摘要

The de Havilland Aircraft Museum has received £41,000 from the Heritage Lottery Fund to complete the restoration of Mosquito prototype W4050. The four-year project is being carried out by volunteers at the museum at Salisbury Hall, London Colney. The aircraft has been carefully taken apart to facilitate work on areas of the wooden fuselage, wings and tailplane. The team is now in the process of reassembling the machine, which should be back in one piece by November 25, the 75th anniversary of W4050's maiden flight.
