De Havilland Mosquito high speed low pass

The only flying mosquito in the world (at the time) at an airshow dedicated to it. NZAR Ardmore New Zealand.

The finest piece of English furniture ever built.
Love that plane.

I have never found a video which captures the true sound of those twin Merlin’s. When you hear them live they are the most amazing engines I have ever heard

My dad would love that, he used to fly them. RIP Dad.

Warbirds at Ardmore (Auckland, New Zealand) are building their forth one t the moment. They also have a twin cockpit Spitfire there that you can go for a ride in a price.

I love the sound of Merlin's. The best piston aero engine ever made.

[wittsend]

I was at this air show, and it was a sight and sound to behold! Awesome aircraft.

The German night fighter pilots were terrified of them - see 'Memoir of a Night Fighter Pilot by Wilhelm Johnen, a Me110 night fighter pilot in WW2

My Dad, 'Rusty' Hale, was a skilled carpenter-joiner who helped build those aircraft at De-Havilland Aircraft Company in Hatfield, Hertfordshire.
Hearing that full throated burble of those Merlin engines.... painful nostalgia but massively

The chief of my medical department at my university in Canada was a navigator in a Mosquito in the RCAF in WWII. He had many interesting tales to tell. Apparently the navigator position was quite cramped.

now thats quick, genius design, both practicality in terms of the supply situation they faced and pure shape; coupled with one of the greatest engines ever designed you have a magnificent tool to terrorize the enemy.

What a truly remarkable aircraft! Brilliant job UK!

[RichardGozinya]

This Mosquito and the Spitfire were two of my four favorites of WW2. Thanks for the video.

I think this is the same Mozzie I saw at the Abbotsford airshow in Canada about 10 years ago. Wonderful machine to see and hear flying again.

When you fly two Spitfires through a piano factory...

[zohirabr]

The sound is terrifying absolute beast.

Hiya . The mosquito did a superb low and fast pass. Unfortunately at an airshow at Barton in the UK in the 90, s a different and only flying Mossie in the UK at the time tried to roll out of that exact pass and climb at a show. It stalled and enough said. There is at present one being restored for a flying ticket at East Kirkby in England.

I saw Ray Hanna do a pass at Biggin Hill in the Mosquito and the props almost touched the grass. About 1972 I guess.

[haroldgodwinson]

As of today, 43 German night fighter air crew didn't like this video.

[robertsansone]

Excellent. Even Goering complimented that plane.

[tonys]

This video really gives a good sense of how fast this plane was.
