I would say she is handling much better.

I guess it is 50% otw to being fixed.  Would like a new cockpit and the extra speed but i'm happy for now.

Thanks for the work HTC ~S~

<--- Tour 91.  329 kills in Mossie.  Approx. 60 GV kills in it and 269 air to air kills to 149 Death in Mossie.

For an ENY of 25 (I think) it is a formidable dog fighter.

The Mossie is a veritable perk factory at ENY 25.

< Tour 75: 279 kills in Mossie to 59 deaths. That was my best Mossie tour, had a lot of fun. ;)

Lovely pic, so I'll quote it again, but...

don't take it as indicative of FB.VI ops - that's the late, lamented RR299 in her 633 Squadron colours.

What's the name of the Japanese guy that made the WW2 CGI movies?  I think that is just a screenshot photoshopped in black and white from one of his other CGI movies.   I know he did one with Mosquitos that was posted a few years ago on the O'Club forums.

You're thinking of tochy, who (apparently) has vanished from the internet.

That's certainly not from his CGI stuff - his Mossies had flame dampers, which were too flat. About the only obvious error I could detect in his wonderful clip. He even had the circular cut-outs on the back of the mudguards correct.

It's a rare CGI-er who'd go to the trouble of modelling tail-wheel trouble - that thing is dangling. Reckon it's genuine - no doubt will turn up some day with a "buy it now" tag on ebay.

Good source.  Check it out.

Frankly, as a Mossie flyer myself, I'm happy with the improvements made thus far.  The CG issue seems to have been fixed, and while she might not be as fast as some say she should be, she seems to get the job done quite nicely.

The mossie we have is representative of the breed.  If anything, I'd like to see her get the cockpit treatment that the Spitfires got.  Some of you folks over in the UK should make a trip over to the the museum and get some nice cockpit shots and start posting them for us .

Seconded, would like a quicker day version without flame dampers though:D

We have a later war 110 would be nice to have a faster late war Mossie
