Reminds me of watching low level practice bombing runs by Mossies' from RAF OTU at Bicester Oxfordshire at the practice range at Ottmore Marsh Gibbon 1n 1943.I had many Air Experience flights from Bicester but never got lucky with this grand performer. Most of mine were Bristol Blenheim's both long and short nosed!. I was in 1365 Squadron Air Training Corps. and did flights from Raf Westcott and Fimere as well these were Wellingtons Mitchells and Bostons. Happy Days I'm 90 in February.
Airworthy Mosquitoes are as rare as hens teeth but not as much so if it were not for those fabulous New Zealanders. Thank you guys and keep them coming.
the plywood wonder, who started as an underdog but that dog had the sharpest theeth and endurance of the entire kennel The first multirole fighter in the world !
What a beautiful sight and restoration ! The Mossie was a real fighter-bomber and so fast due to it's lightweight wooden construction - Truly the 'Wooden Wonder'
Happy Birthday Fred Lane and how very fortunate you were to have served and had the wonderful experience of various planes to be near and be in.Did you ever meet any of those unsung heroes and heroines the ATF delivering planes ??
Is it a new build with the data plate put on? No offence meant, it's just I'm aware of the fact that they usually won't allow the original airframe to be stripped down, rebuilt and certified to fly
@@Warbirdnz He did talk about flying a mosquito in NZ during a volunteer meeting at POF, and he mentioned the possibility of PZ474 coming up to California for our annual airshow
5:25 About now is when I think of Keith Skilling talking to an audience, in which he talks about all the things a Mosquito pilot suddenly has to do, very quickly, if he loses an engine on take off. th-cam.com/video/lCUk2L7RTnE/w-d-xo.html It's an interesting video.

watching the power go on to the engines gave me goosebumps well done to all involved
Beautiful!
1076 Mosquitos were built in 🇨🇦Canada🇨🇦 of which only 2 survive.
Just one of the most Beautiful Aircraft ever built
What a fantastic sight and sound well done to all concerned
Good job keeping this great aircraft flying!
3 of them in the world now they are going to make the 4 mosquito
I'm no expert, I was surprised at how short the take-off runs were for both aircraft.
Wow.....Jesus The Fire Power of That Mossie
Wow, today's my Dad's birthday as well, and he likes Mosquitos!
Great achievement!
The Sound Of Rolls Royce Packard Merlin Engines......mmmmm Nice
How neat it would be to see this at Classic Fighters Omaka 2019.
Just saying that because I'll be there...
i have to say, hand over heart, that it pisses me off somewhat that we don't have one flying example here in the UK. fucking breaks me.
