The years-long dream of restoring a wartime aviation relic is finally being realized.
The De Havilland DH.98 Mosquito, a Second World War-era bomber, has been given the green light to begin reassembly at the Bomber Command Museum of Canada in Nanton.
It was a five-year struggle for Richard de Boer, president of the Calgary Mosquito Aircraft Society (CMAS), to have the craft restored.
“It’s a tremendous day,” said de Boer.
A party-like atmosphere surrounded the museum as people from all over Alberta came out to celebrate.

Calgary acquired the Mosquito in 1964 as part of an attempt to create an aircraft museum, but the deal fell through and the bomber has been since collecting dust.
The Mosquito is in a million pieces on the floor of Bomber Command.
“What we have now is the world’s largest model airplane kit and we have a contract with the City of Calgary to complete the restoration within five years,” he said.
Canada manufactured 1,134 Mosquitoes during the Second World War.
It was the fastest bomber created at the time, with a top speed of more than 640 km/h.
“It was ironic that a bomber was flying fast than the fighters that were trying to shoot it down,” said de Boer.
