I love Mosquitos too and they're a rare bird now as their wood construction contributed largely to what few airframes remained being worthy of restoration..

About 10 years ago I remember reading about the recovery of an abandoned Mossie in Northern Canada...here's a link to the story of how it all happened the day it went down in 1956..
