The Lewis Air Legend's de Havilland Mosquito, restored by AVSpecs in New Zealand, arrived in Texas safely. In this teaser, we run up the engines after 3.5 weeks of reassembly. Stay tuned for more!

Gorgeous! I've given a lot of thought to my favourite WW2 war planes and I think the Mosquito tops my list for it's out-of-the-box design, it's versatility, and it's Canadian connection. I'm curious why they've designed it so the props turn in the same direction. In another channel a guy explained it results in torque pulling the aircraft to the left so you have to give the left engine more power to compensate. The only reason I can think of is so there isn't a 'left' or 'right' engine for ease of replacement by the ground crews..

Is that a little wind-up key sticking out behind the cannon muzzle ports?

Can you please tell me the purpose of the wooden board in the radiator duct of the port engine? Thanks.

those are radiator ducts, you are not meant to stand on top, it maybe platform for them to stand on that is removed before flight or just allow air to be blown in and cool the engines (via ducting and fans not shown) when running for long periods on the ground, more of a guess than actual knowledge, best i can do for you

Thanks. The "ducting more air" makes sense as the prop blades are descending on the port side and the boards would increase the amount of captured air.
