And hopefully they can use the mould, jigs and expertise to do it again. It would be a pity if they stopped at one.
On another Mosquito related matter, I recently saw film footage of carrier landings being carried out by these aircraft. One landing was a total disaster with the remnants of the Mozzie scattered all over the deck. There was no narration and no information given. Does anybody out there know more? Thanks for posting the B17, B25 video Tony, it's a joy to watch. David

Hi Guys
When I saw the film clip I just had to share it with you guys. Beautiful planes amongst beautiful scenery. Yes Phil. I wish we could have heard those big props engines humming along, there is something unique about those ww2 bomber engine sounds that stay with you, much more interesting to those boring jets. Cheers and a Merry Christmas to you all. Tony ![]()

This is a decent video of the Hamilton Lancaster. Somehow I think they added the music (Battle of Britain soundtrack) but you can still here the Merlin's. |

Hi Harry
Thanks for posting that flight, I found it absorbing and you could feel you were almost there. So glad they didn't drown out the sound of those great Merlin engines with the background music. To think back in WW2 they were flown by just kids out of their teens.I loved it. ![]() ![]() ![]() Cheers Tony ![]()
