De Havilland DHC-3 Turbo Otter SX-ARO nosed over during a water landing at an airshow in Biscarrosse, France. Victoria Air Maintenance sent a small crew to France to disassemble the crashed aircraft, load it in a container and ship it back to Canada for repairs.

Over the last year, April Parry with Pan Productions has been keeping an eye on us here at Victoria Air Maintenance. She is a local documentary film maker who has taken an interest in our restoration work. April has put together a fantastic film showcasing the work we have been doing on the Mosquito project over the past year.
Work on the Mosquito has been moving forward over the past few months. Mel and Marty have been running the new plumbing throughout the Mosquito. Click below to view some pictures of the progress!
Work has been moving along during the last few months on the restoration of the deHavilland Mosquito. We would like to thank the EAA AirVenture Museum in Oshkosh, Wisconsin and Kermit Weeks for their help by allowing us to visit and take photographs of their Mosquito. This is a huge help! Thank you!
