Mossie Part 1 (LINks to parts 2,3,4 and 5)

Plus one more interesting one.

Plus I remember having a discussion with someone about helis and their aerobatic capabilities.
Check out the Lynx a min or so into this one.
This is a bog standard British Army Lynx, no mods for air shows.

and another

Actually a very agile heli -
sideways flight at up to 55kts
rearwards flight at up to 90kts
roll 360 degrees in less that 3.5 secs.

They must of had balls the size of melons attacking flak ships like that.

Just finished a book about Coastal Command, seems most pilots preferred the Beaufighter to the Mossie for the job, not for 1 ping insta pilot wounds in Moss but for the radial engines in the Beaufighter soaking up damage.

Those were cool videos about the Mosquitos but Mosquito Doc 4 was not available. 1,2,3 and 5 is all. It left a hole in a great program. Thanks for links.

Part 4 -

Shows one landing on a CV, and thus becoming the first twin engined plane ever to land on a CV.

Wonder what rockets our one carries, they don't seem to do a lot considering they are meant to be 60lbs.

Great Films.

I'm not sure how the History Channel likes their copyrighted films being on YouTube though.
