Remarkable videography of one of the rarest and coolest WW2 warbirds.
Five Stars.
Mere WORDS can not begin to COVER my Gratitude to the people who have taken the time out of there lives to make this happen. I could not Offer $$$$ nor Labor as I am in a wheelchair, but my LOVE for this Airplane is undeniable. If I had my way I would love to see 2 DOZEN of them fill the SKY. but I will settle for whatever I can get. My Hats OFF to the people that put down the COLD HARD CASH ! & to those who spent so Many HOURS, & so MUCH love on Such an IMPORTANT part of OUR worlds HISTORY. Some people want them all in a MUSEUM But I am of the opinion that SEEING these AIRPLANES FLYING does way MORE for these people than Just an AIRPLANE in a MUSEUM. ONCE AGAIN Thanks
We're all with you Joe
I had the pleasure of watching this aircraft performing at "Wings Over Wairarapa" Hood Aerodrome Masterton New Zealand. A truly magnificent aircraft.
That is my favourite aircraft of all time! Thank you!
it's a big club
The Mossie is such a beautiful aeroplane that it's easy to forget the deadly purpose that it was designed for!
They made these in Toronto, Canada with wood from Northern Ontario and engines from Britain. My father flew in an all-blue one (recon-version) with no guns or bombs out of Algiers, North Africa looking for submarines in the Mediterranean. Other than that he didn't want to talk about it.
He came home on the Queen Mary, painted grey and jammed packed with soldiers, a sergeant was tossed overboard and they called for him over the PA for days.
Have his medals now C J WAGSTAFF 1919 - 2017 RAF 1939-44.
A very impressive aircraft . I love the Mossie ..
Beautiful... Gives me goosebumps...
Beautiful aircraft the mossie.
I had to look up this varient; It's an FB Mk 26. Nice upload.
Always a thrill to see the Mosquito take off--but it's a pity the Camera's weren't synced to the Prop speed. Spoils it some-what.
Too True!
It would be a great sight to see MAM's "Mossie" flying with Paul Allens at Paine Field.
There's another Mosquito being ground tested for return to flight. it's in Lincolnshire England at East Kirkby where there is a third Lancaster being returned to flight also! #JUSTJANE
I don't think there is any intention to get that Mosquito flying, however it does do ground runs. The Lancaster is being restored to airworthiness.
Any mosquito going back to flight I think for safety reasons needs new wings and fuselage to stop risk of de-lamination. Glue was not as good in those days. Hugely strong when built but given time not so good. That’s why there where not flying examples until a New Zealand guy spent nearly 30 years research and experimentation learning how rebuild them. The fuselage and wings on this Mossiewhere built by his team in New Zealand.
Just magnificent what a credit to the guys who rebuilt this, shame we don't have one flying here in the UK and that is the aircraft that won the war
one is now complete to fly in Lincs
It will never fly look it up
That is an absolute embarrassment if it’s still true.
This is amazing!!
Impresionante. I am Argentino.
Did you like that? Well that is the crowd line for the Warbirds Over the Beach in Pungo ,Virginia USA. This was taken at the REAL British control tower that was disassembled and brought over and reassembled. This is no zoom lens, heck your cell phone can do it. There are all sorts of interesting acft here, Me109s, Fw190s ( yes multiples), Spitfire, Hurricane, yes the Mossie. The WWII show is in mid-May. This is the best show, if the weather is crappy but locally fine Jerry wants them ( the pilots) flying! Friday is the best for photos as the pilots are usually getting recurrent in the different acft( FAA requires a min of 3 takeoffs and landing to a full stop). The Brits can drool when the Spit, Hurri, and the Mossie are in the air together, that's when the Me262 yes I said a Me262 shows up. Or the functioning 88 is pounding away with blanks at the Allied acft. It's the BEST!!!
Beautiful aircraft and footage. I would love to see one in person some day.
I'm not pilot....but having said that....Isn't it a needless risk flying a historic 70 year old airplane from an (apparently) minimal length grass runway surrounded on all sides by dense trees? I mean in terms of no margin for error if something goes wrong?
Do they not have flaps for takeoff on this aircraft?! Just curious. I see them when landing . . .
I flew the Israeli Mosquito in 1954
Pilots class no.10

She is so beautiful
Great aircraft Made in New Zealand
Very nice! What is all that clonking noise from the starboard engine? doesn't sound good.
I agree I heard the starter gear clonking during start up, but also thought I heard clonking while it was running. I don’t know.
Wow
Is this the only Mosquito in North America?
Flying ? not now, see Oshkosh 2019. and the unveiling of the latest New Zealand fab reconstruction, there's at least one more under construction, in Canada, and one in Britain.
Absolutely beautiful aeroplane, for me it would be
Spit
Mossy
Lanc
Halifax
Sterling
Hurricane
Tempest
But then I'm British, so a little bit biased, got to say a mustang does look good......
Wow! What a nice girl. God, lucky people.
I'd take her home to see Mom & Dad anytime.

Mossie's are so beautiful and graceful. But I always thought their cockpit canopies looked too boxy and flat on the sides.
so as to accommodate two crew member's side by side; even then , they were slightly set back from one another. Better comfort on the long flight to Berlin and back, for 12 hours.
I understand the set up. I have been in a Mossie cockpit. But there is a similar set up in a Lanc. And a Lanc has a more rounded aerodynamic canopy. The Mosquito is so rounded and beautiful, but that slab sided canopy looks out of place to me. Just my opinion.
@@whodey59 CERTAINLY UNUSUAL, BUT GIVEN DE HAVILLANDS RECORD FOR PRECISION DESIGN, THERE HAS TO BE A GOOD REASON. AS A WAR PLANE, I DOUBT IF AESTHETICS CAME INTO IT.
It can be done as follows: some wood, 2x merlin, plywood, 8x machine gun=Mosquito .Best plane.
Forgot the Balsa-wood and four cannons, less four machine guns. Or remarkably as it was designed as a bomber same bomb loadmaster a B17 and no armament but so fast you can’t catch it. Go get some glue get building😀
