John Smith's Mossie taxis at Omaka

Hi folks,
On Saturday the Omaka John Smith Mosquito Project team conducted the first powered taxi of DH Mosquito FB.VI TE910/NZ2336 since about 1952. It was amazing to see and a real thrill. I'm excited for more people to see it at Classic Fighters 2027.

How did they get that Mosquito plane to New Zealand from England?
