I challenge each of you to do what I'm doing, despite it difficencies I've flown nothing but the Mossie this tour. Not an easy thing to do but then again most things that are easy aren't worth doing.


God!! Why oh why do YouTubers slap inappropriate music onto vids of WWII aircraft? Nice visually though. I think the colour clips are all from 633 squadron, including out-takes (and maybe a bit from Mosquito Squadron), filmed in my native Scotland (the mountain scenes) and including the Mossie I mentioned in an above post - the one that's in USA now.

There's only one song suitable for films of Mossies...RR Merlin. An instant classic.

Not until later.  The B.Mk XVI had them I think, but most Mossies with contra-rotating props were post-war.

Mosquito needs several variants and re-modelling.
Here we are, living on top of a molten ball of rock, spinning around at a 1,000mph, orbiting a nuclear fireball and whizzing through space at half-a-million miles per hour. Most of us believe in super-beings which for some reason need to be praised for setting this up. This, apparently, is normal.

Remodeling is a must, variants are a "wish".

I'd be delighted if that is true, but my bet is that the CoG issue has been fixed and that is the only change.

Still would like to see a flame damperless Mosquito, and though it doesn't happen quite as often as it used to...I still occasionally encounter the random stall of death.

Mossie is great, I don't know of a quicker and more fun way to deliver 2000lbs of love but....the flame dampers are silly.

I want to deliver 2000lbs of love even faster!
