@@jordie-fly439 I seen a Mosquito fly over Wellington with s Spitfire and a Kitty Hawk... they are ermotional planes and yes I had a tear in my eye.. cheers from down under ✈️🇳🇿
I had a Flying Instructor, Hector Taylor, who was ex Mosquitoes. He used to tell me that they would go after German trains which, not surprisingly, used to hide in tunnels if possible when attacked. He said that they would fly down the railway cutting towards the tunnel, release their bombs and skip them into the tunnel. If you were flying above the level of the cutting, you were too high!!!. Awesome & Respect. RIP Hector.
I remember seeing this film with Dad, 1964 Drive-in. He had flown RCAF WW2 in Lanc's and Wellington's. Quite an era...we don't want to go thru again. The Mosquito was the true hot rod of that time. And, there was a fly-off between a heavily massaged P-61 Black Widow against a Mosquito not specially prepared, appprox. 1944. The Report erroneously gave the nod to the Black Widow. I love the P-61...but there was no real contest. The British did not want to give up their Mosquito's, and the Americans apparently liked their under performing Northrup's. Thanks...and subscribed.
My old dad was stationed down in Kent during 1940, with the REME. He recalls doing some work somewhere down there, when the sound of an aircraft grew closer. He said it literally passed overhead fairly low, far faster than anything they'd seen before. He said the guys he was with noticed it had twin engines, but none of them could identify it at the time. He realised after the war, that they had probably witnessed a test flight of the Mosquito.......
The, most beautiful plane ever built by man end off. in so so many ways. I loved it 60 years ago, and I defy you to top it now, a wooden frame plane. The true meaning of the word, Awesome. fast and beautiful. As an egineer / designer, I know this baby. fabulous.
I'm still kicking myself for not adding this quote after the scathing quote from Beechcraft: “I’m often asked, what type of aircraft saved Britain. My answer is that the Mosquito was particularly important because it wasn’t just a fighter or a bomber. It was a night fighter, a reconnaissance aircraft. A ground-attack aircraft. It was a multi-purpose aircraft.” - Eric “Winkle” Brown, wartime test pilot
This is good enough to be official trailer material! Excellent shots, clean editing, overall great job. I love the addition of the Pathé logo and then fading to the game footage. Keep it up!

What a vid. Sent cold shivers up and down my spine. Perfect in every way, timing content musical alignment out-bloody-standing. It deserves an oscar if they could be awarded for short vids like this. It must have taken you a lot of hard work and time to get everything aligning so well. A master of the art of machinima to say the least, 10/10. I had come on my PC to fly my Mossie, but watching this inspired me to go and watch the film (again for the umpteenth time) on video. I have nearly worn the video out and they are hard to come by nowadays. I will soon end up having to find an alternative to this the finest aircraft that flew in all its versions as an MRCA in WW2. Absolutely brilliant production, please see fit to do some more. I have subscribed to your channel so I won't miss any that you do produce. Thanks!!!!!
Awesome, great job. The Mosquito has to be my favourite aircraft of the 2nd world war era, perhaps of all eras. It was so versatile and performed really well in so many different roles
I remember passing Biggin Hill where they made this film in the 60s.The Mosquitos had Bullet Holes painted on them and the Camera Plane was a B25 Mitchell Bomber they had up for sale afterwards with a Bristol car Freighter asking £2500 and. £3500 . I had a 1953 Ford Prefect which l bought for £20!😅😅
My dad's favourite plane from WW2 was the Spitfire. He said it was great looking up at the sky during the war and see all the spitfires in their squadrons flying in formation off to face the Germans.
This was top-notch, great job sir, the camera shots were perfect. Differently got the emotions going. A big tribute to the 633 squadrons and England for making one of the best aircraft of all time.
Absolutely insane quality of production and great timing for virtually every scene! One of the best little productions that I've ever seen from the DCS engine! Amazing work!
Brilliant video of an amazing aircraft! The Spitfire gets all the glory but these things outclassed the Spits without even trying. Capable of over 400 Knots and could outrun a Spitfire on a single engine, the Mossie was the fastest thing in the air in WWII until the German Me 262. Been my favourite aircraft since I was a boy, even more so than the mighty Avro Vulcan B-2! Thanks for the video, loved it! You've earned a new subscriber!!
Thank you so much for sharing that incredible connection to the De Havilland Mosquito! It's truly amazing to hear about your dad's first hand experience with such an iconic aircraft. The Mosquito holds a special place in aviation history, as do the pilot's and crew who kept them flying. If you have any more stories or insights to share, I'm sure they would go down well with the visitors to this video, many thanks!
I'm utterly and completely bewildered just how at least 8 lost souls can watch a hair raising, spine tingling masterpiece such as this ... AND NOT LIKE IT!!! It's an incredible film. Love some of those camera angles and the 109 splitting the formation is golden.
Awesome tribute to a bloody great aeroplane. I wish someone would make a movie about the Amiens Prison break. The Mosquito was key in that mission as well as its famed attack on Gestapo Headquarters at low level. Love this video . Thank you.
Yes, I agree!! It could also stand as a tribute to Charles Pickard who lost his life on the Amiens raid. He became an English household name after the IWM's propaganda film "Target for tonight". A great loss to the RAF. Dave.
This is just insanely brilliant!!! The roar of those merlins as it flew under the bridge... having been to countless airshows where I've had merlins ripping over my head barely 100ft above me, I can say it's almost undistinguishable from a real one. DCS did a cracking job on the mossie.
The shot of the V-1 bomb exploding has a real life equivalent: Mosquito shot and exploded a V-1 over Southern England, and was close enough that the plane went through a large fireball, took damage, got back to base with much of the paint and the linen cover of the wooden airframe burnt off over most of the plane, and cracks in front windows and so on. Took some time to repair, but she flew again. Image search Mosquito damaged, burnt will find it.
It is believed that the first successful interception of a V1 flying bomb by an aircraft was a Mosquito. Maybe not the event you described, but it is why I included that scene. On the night 14th/15th June, 1944, Flight Lieutenant J. G. Musgrave, the pilot of a Mosquito of the County of Warwick Squadron (No. 605) and his observer, Flight Sergeant F. W. Samwell, were over the Channel. Soon after midnight they saw coming from the Continent what Musgrave inevitably described as a 'ball of fire' It flashed past on our starboard side a few thousand feet away and at the same height as we were flying. I quickly turned to port and chased it. It was going pretty fast, but I caught up with it and opened fire from astern'. After three bursts from his cannon, 'there was a terrific flash and explosion and the thing fell down in a vertical dive into the sea. The whole show was over in three minutes'. The Flight Lieutenant was, in all probability, the first member of the Royal Air Force to shoot down a flying bomb. This weapon, known as the V.1.
A very good very , a marvelous piece of equipment for the Royal Air Force ,yes British made , would it amaze you and other people that my grandad was / a chief carpenter who made the propeller's for the mosquito plane ! Another piece of British British history that was and still is the marvel Fabulous invention of the world we know today , a good eighty years on ! Kind regards Andy Chapman
As a de Havilland, I am so proud to see those machines getting the praise they deserve. Everyone thought of the Spitfire first. The Hurricane, the Lancaster. Everyone forgets the true machine that was versatile and was the proper heroine of WWII. An amazing machine. Thank you for showing her absolute f**king glory as she deserves!! To the Mosquito!!
The Mosquito bomber was also known as " The wooden wonder" because of its mostly wooden construction. The Germans even tried to copy this plane and failed on their attempts.
Oh The Germans did build a wooden fighter-bomber, they even called it the Moskito, but what killed it was the typical infighting with all the different commanders with their own weapons projects, all competing for resources and power. The German Moskito was apparently an amazing warplane, but it came WAY too late to enter production or make any real difference.
12 entries before the name Ron Goodwin mentioned. Of course he also did Battle of Britain as well as Day of the Trifffids (! ?) 633 Sqdn with earbuds on my Phillips DVD Player sounds better than my 100 Watt Kenwood speakers/receiver. The title music is superb as well as the reverberating merlins up the Scottish valleys.
......just one thing. "you did most of your flying at 30ft, flying so low you would often pick up telegraph wire and foliage not native to Britain...." An Aussie possibly a New Zealander who took part in the Amiens Prison raid Feb 18th 1944.
This gives me goose bumps we had Mosquito planes with our RNZAF... and we have recently restored a Mosquito.. cheers from down under 👍🇳🇿
So jealous of the other countries with flying mossies, would love to see one in the air.

Now remember: Jerry's not playing around. You go in, you go in low. So low the props trim trees. It's that, or you sleep with the Germans.
Spot on
IIRC, one of the pilots in the Operation Jericho raid on the Amiens prison said as he passed the wall, the German guards looked DOWN at him!
sorry sir wrong sir! you used the word Germans! Surely you mean the despised Boche as out French allies call them!
For a short while the world was a better when the Mosquito ruled its skies...!
Those roaring engines and that soundtrack, it’s perfect
I'm glad you enjoyed it. Thanks for leaving a comment.
Very emotional tribute to the brave men that saved a country. Who's cutting onions in here
And lest we forget them! Thank you.
A country? More like Europe.
So stirring, it makes me wanna cry 😭

This truly is excellent. Fantastic music, footage, and merlins; what more could anyone ask for. Beautiful homage, thank you. #LestWeForget
We can never repat them but from the bottom of our hearts we thank them

Thanks Darrell, that P-61 sure is ugly compared to the Mosquito 😃
ABSOLUTELY gorgeous plane at any angle. My dad flew B24's but you Brits nailed it with this girl. WOW, What a fighter/bomber.
She certainly is a beauty, and a fine example of a warbird, as is the B24. I'm sure you're a super proud son too. Thanks for your comment!
Both our nations produced some outstanding aircraft of WW2 but there is just something a little bit extra special with the Spitfire and Mosquito.

Brilliant piece of history, thank you very much for sharing!
Ron Goodwin's theme still thrills.
It will certainly thrill me till the end of my days!
As does the opening theme from the Battle Of Britain movie, which the Luftwaffe actually went on to use as it's anthem.....quite a complement.
