Brian Beaurgard comments (22 March 2023): I worked at the Vintage Car Store, Nyack NY, Ed Jurist had the two Rolls Royce Merlin spares for this Mosquito. One was on display in the show room on Main Street, the other was down in the basement garage. Both were still on their original wood crates. They were still at the store when Ed passed away, and apparently did not go with the aircraft when sold. Ed told the story of FLYING this plane from where it was aquired over the Atlantic.
