de Havilland Mosquito 'barn-find' in New Zealand

Hi all,

I thought this story might interest the Warbirds folk here who hadn't already heard about it. It's probably not really a barn-find, but still a neat story:

Ah yes the amazing collection of John Smith. I had no idea it was in such a small pole barn with a dirt floor all those years. He really did a great thing saving all that history. Bravo!
