ON 15 March the Flying Heritage Collection's de Havilland Mosquito Tlll, TV959, emerged from the paint shop at Paine Field, Seattle, in a No 605 Squadron intruder scheme. This replaces the overall silver finish it wore for its post-rebuild maiden flight at Ardmore, New Zealand on 26 September last year (see News, Aeroplane November 2016).
