Take a look at the stunning restoration of the world's only flying Mosquito, KA114.

Here we see the new wing of a resurrecting Mosquito.

"The cockpit was in such pristine conditions, it looked as if we had all of a sudden rolled back in time and it was 1942 back in Hatfield, Hertfordshire, even the RR Merlin 63's looked new," Conroy said.
