I had a Flying Instructor, Hector Taylor, who was ex Mosquitoes. He used to tell me that they would go after German trains which, not surprisingly, used to hide in tunnels if possible when attacked. He said that they would fly down the railway cutting towards the tunnel, release their bombs and skip them into the tunnel. If you were flying above the level of the cutting, you were too high!!!. Awesome & Respect. RIP Hector.

A country? More like Europe.

My old dad was stationed down in Kent during 1940, with the REME. He recalls doing some work somewhere down there, when the sound of an aircraft grew closer. He said it literally passed overhead fairly low, far faster than anything they'd seen before. He said the guys he was with noticed it had twin engines, but none of them could identify it at the time. He realised after the war, that they had probably witnessed a test flight of the Mosquito.......

I remember passing Biggin Hill where they made this film in the 60s.The Mosquitos had Bullet Holes painted on them and the Camera Plane was a B25 Mitchell Bomber they had up for sale afterwards with a Bristol car Freighter asking £2500 and. £3500 . I had a 1953 Ford Prefect which l bought for £20!😅😅

This truly is excellent. Fantastic music, footage, and merlins; what more could anyone ask for. Beautiful homage, thank you. #LestWeForget

I remember seeing this film with Dad, 1964 Drive-in. He had flown RCAF WW2 in Lanc's and Wellington's. Quite an era...we don't want to go thru again. The Mosquito was the true hot rod of that time. And, there was a fly-off between a heavily massaged P-61 Black Widow against a Mosquito not specially prepared, appprox. 1944. The Report erroneously gave the nod to the Black Widow. I love the P-61...but there was no real contest. The British did not want to give up their Mosquito's, and the Americans apparently liked their under performing Northrup's. Thanks...and subscribed.

I'm still kicking myself for not adding this quote after the scathing quote from Beechcraft: “I’m often asked, what type of aircraft saved Britain. My answer is that the Mosquito was particularly important because it wasn’t just a fighter or a bomber. It was a night fighter, a reconnaissance aircraft. A ground-attack aircraft. It was a multi-purpose aircraft.” - Eric “Winkle” Brown, wartime test pilot

Been my favourite aircraft since I was a boy, even more so than the mighty Avro Vulcan B-2! Thanks for the video, loved it! You've earned a new subscriber!!

I have nearly worn the video out and they are hard to come by nowadays. I will soon end up having to find an alternative to this the finest aircraft that flew in all its versions as an MRCA in WW2.

The shot of the V-1 bomb exploding has a real life equivalent: Mosquito shot and exploded a V-1 over Southern England, and was close enough that the plane went through a large fireball, took damage, got back to base with much of the paint and the linen cover of the wooden airframe burnt off over most of the plane, and cracks in front windows and so on. Took some time to repair, but she flew again. Image search Mosquito damaged, burnt will find it.

It is believed that the first successful interception of a V1 flying bomb by an aircraft was a Mosquito. Maybe not the event you described, but it is why I included that scene. On the night 14th/15th June, 1944, Flight Lieutenant J. G. Musgrave, the pilot of a Mosquito of the County of Warwick Squadron (No. 605) and his observer, Flight Sergeant F. W. Samwell, were over the Channel. Soon after midnight they saw coming from the Continent what Musgrave inevitably described as a 'ball of fire' It flashed past on our starboard side a few thousand feet away and at the same height as we were flying. I quickly turned to port and chased it. It was going pretty fast, but I caught up with it and opened fire from astern'. After three bursts from his cannon, 'there was a terrific flash and explosion and the thing fell down in a vertical dive into the sea. The whole show was over in three minutes'. The Flight Lieutenant was, in all probability, the first member of the Royal Air Force to shoot down a flying bomb. This weapon, known as the V.1.

I still get a shiver down my spine when I hear this

Oh The Germans did build a wooden fighter-bomber, they even called it the Moskito, but what killed it was the typical infighting with all the different commanders with their own weapons projects, all competing for resources and power.
