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!!

@ashcustomworks2 ай бұрын
As far as I know this one is going to Texas and the next to England. They need a backer with deep pockets to fund restoration and ongoing maintenance and storage costs.

If this was 18th March 2024 why are there so many leaves on the trees?
@ashcustomworks2 ай бұрын
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.

As a kid, i watched Squadron 633, I fell in love with the great aircraft. My only other aircraft at the top of my like list is the F4U Corsair. I'm a bit bias as i did eight years in the Marine Corps. I still love the Mossie.

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!

I think they were just pilot training with the aviation school there. I didn't see anything go up as a chase plane. Imagine doing your licence test with a fresh Mosquito behind you on the taxiway!

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!😊😊

@@ashcustomworksI think , if I remember rightly , New Zealanders used to fly mossies as pathfinders for the Lancasters, etc on raids over Europe! The mossie has a very long range .
@ashcustomworks2 ай бұрын
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.
