    Forget the P 38 Lightening and the lumbering B 25 and the P61 Black Widow , none of them were a patch on the Mossie

    If Yuvenko quits building, there won't be much combat. That was over half the models at the meet last weekend.

    When I was still a schoolboy a friend told me his father a factory manager had been a Mosquito pilot in ww2. Years later I asked him why he gave up flying. He said that after flying the mosquito every plane was a disappointment.

    Remember seeing flight of four at Biggin Hill air display in early 60:s just after 633 Squadron filmed. It was their last flight as all were being pensioned off due to airworthy issues. I wonder if any survived? 🇬🇧

    67 year young airplane nut here in Nevada,as a kid/teen built all the WW2 models(a lot of Airfix72) of all the combatants. The more I rediscovered the Mossie and it’s incredible story of design and jaw dropping 1st flight way back when, well let’s just say I have my share of DH98 t-shirts now! Great job on getting the real thing where it belongs, in the air!!

    Because in this part of the world most trees don't drop their leaves and most of those that do won't start dropping them for another month or two.

    My late father flew with the RAF from 1943 to 1973 through the transition to jets and finished by instructing on Gnats and Hunters. He maintained that his favourite aircraft of the many types he flew were the Mosquito and Hornet. Great to see another one in the air.

    Such an elegant looking aircraft. There's a TV series running at the moment (March 2024) in the UK about restoring military aircraft to flying conditions. As an aside in the one covering the only flying Hawker Tempest somebody said something to the effect of "at the end of WW2 you could buy a damage Mosquito, £50 each for the Merlin engines and a load of firewood thrown in" - oh dear!

    Yes, I’m just joking around, the little Cessna does 100 plus knots, the mossie, well, probably say 400 plus knots! The little Cessna would need a cut lunch and a water bag to cover what the mossie would cover in a few hour s. ! Cheers, happy flying!😊😊

    They had a Tiger Moth following it for air-to-air photography a few days ago! Flight Radar showed the Mossie doing between 180 and 210 knots most of the time it's been up.
