It was ferried here by air from the UK in early 1947, similar to most of
"our" Mossies (we did purchase a handful from Australia - a much shorter trip!). Here's the airframe's history from the excellent NZDF Serials website:
Built at Standard Motors. Previously TE910 and delivered to No.27 MU on 19 November 1945.
Ferried from the United Kingdom by an RAF/RNZAF crew and BOC Ohakea on 28 April 1947.
Ferried to Woodbourne for storage shortly after arrival.
Removed from storage and placed on strength of No.75 Squadron. Coded YC-B
Placed in storage at Woodbourne on 22 April 1952.
Declared surplus on SR83/55 dated 30 June 1955 and sold by GSB tender number 6326 to J. Smith, Moutere, Nelson.
Total airframe hours at time of disposal were 80:35.
Although the aircraft was broken into parts for transport to Smith's farm it was later reassembled and stored under cover, after being treated with a preservative paint.
Following John Smith's death (August 2019), his family have lent the aircraft to Aviation Heritage Centre at Omaka for display.
Disassembly commenced 15 August 2020; wheeled out of shed, wing and undercarriage separated, then trucked to Omaka September 2020.
Aircraft reassembled, repainted (in 487 (NZ) colours, coded EG-D and original serial).
Restored fuselage and wings mated 24 January 2021.
Engines test run on stands, then refitted to aircraft.
Restoration undertaken under leadership of Al Marshall, involving JEM Aviation, SAFE Air and volunteers in Bill Reid's hangar.
Aircraft installed in Omaka Aviation Heritage centre 2 April 2021
Both engines ground run 8 November 2021
