On 17 April, Mosquito Aircraft Restoration Ltd, the New Zealand-based owners of Mosquito T43 NZ2308 and the Mosquito Pathfinder Trust made a joint statement regarding the rebuild and proposed operation of that aircraft in the UK. "Since announcing in 2018 that the Mosquito Pathfinder Trust had selected NZ2308 as the airframe to restore to airworthy status", it said, "a great deal of work has been done to prepare our organisation for this undertaking. Our team was able to secure new corporate support and several substantial pledges from private individuals which would enable us to sign agreements to purchase NZ2308 and start work, in addition to significant progress in the certification value of the airframe.
