That any of the wooden construction airframes are still airworthy is a testament to the wood working technology of the era.
Germany fielded a number of wooden construction airframes or major assemblies But allied bombing destroyed the factory that made the best quality wood glue for the purpose. Without this glue airframes built using a substitute failed in testing, leaving the NAZI without a mass produced aircraft to successfully counter the Mosquito at high altitude. PS The mossies nose guns had such a terrific muzzle blast that when the pilot fired a sun shield deployed in front of the gunsight so he would not lose his night vision. |

It is hard for me comprehend what the term "normal" and Hoadie have in common.

Hoadie's mental state aside, here is a list of the surviving Mossies.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_surviving_de_Havilland_Mosquitos If you believe the internet (and who doesn't) several of the airframes listed could eventually return to the skies. |

Why? Is it the "acting" or the "normal" that causes concern!
