On Board the fabulous Mosquito !!!

Warren Denholm took his camera along on with Mike Spalding at the recent Warbirds Over the Beach airshow and captured the sights and sounds of the de Havilland Mosquito KA114 in action.

I am English, and very old. The sight and sound of these aircraft is music to my ears, and quite emotional too. I had an uncle who flew the Mosquito, as a”pathfinder”, to drop flares on the target before the bombers arrived, and to photograph the results of the raid. He survived the war.

Twin merlin with a beautiful plane in the the middle, perfection ❤
Thank you to all those brave men and women who gave their all.

When you built a bomber faster than fighters, you can say you did a very good job.

This was the aircraft which brought my mother and father together, working for DeH. at Stag Lane. My Dad was an engineer on the shop floor, whilst my Mum, just a slip of a girl, had swung herself a job in the drawing office. (She knew J. De H). They met and fell in love through one of the most extraordinary aircraft Britain ever produced. This is a wonderful video.

Real hands on flying ❤ thanks for giving us the chance to see and hear this beauty from onboard

[Ps]

Its a wonder that after many decades the wooden wonder has survived let alone fly. Amazing construction and remarkably effective aircraft in its day and still is amazing. A credit to the people who designed and made these aircraft and those who worked diligently to restore this particular beauty.

Thank you for not putting shitty music over the sound of those Rolls Royce Merlin engines!

My favourite aircraft, my lovely mum helped make these during the war.

The plane was built by cabinet makers who were unemployed at the time. To quote Jeffrey De Havilland “ the best. Piece of furniture Britain ever built “.

A huge thank you to the owner, the resources and commitment AND the folks who painstakingly got her looking and flying so beautifully again!!! What an absolute treasure!

[duffman]

Surreal. Especially with the Hurricane off the wing. Great video.

One of the most fabulous aircraft ever built. Period.

[bmartin]

One of the most beautiful war planes made. Thank you to all those restoring and maintaining it, those that fought in her and all those that did not return. Thank you for sharing, her memory lives on :)

How could anyone ever give this video a thumbs down? It is simply stunning, and those

My dad who is 88 years old started work in 1944 aged 14 in a drawing office in Walthamstow in East London. His first job was tracing AO size drawings of the tail section of the Mosquito for some reason and because of this it has always been a special aircraft for me. Thanks for this great footage.

Way back in the 80's, a patient of mine had been the pilot of a Mossie. Great bloke and I'll never forget his description of how huge the White cliffs looked when he was coming home, shot up and low on fuel. Huge respect to all of them.

[Simonize]

As I watched this takeoff I thought of all the crews that flew the Mosquito during WWII, and especially the poor souls that didn't return. RIP. Superb video. Thank you.

[bobdyer]

Mossie with a Hurricane in trail! EXCELLENT! Like the Gunsight, restored to perfection. Beautiful line-up on the airfield, hope were shown more vids of the gathering. THANKS!

[tommot]

Wow - in my front room but I was there in the cockpit! When he pushed the throttles forward and those Merlins sang the hairs on the back of my neck stood up. What a fabulous experience - brilliant experience in one of the finest aircraft ever made. Thank you so much.

A fellow British car club member flew these in WW ll AFTER he flew a full tour in B-24s. RIP Roland (Bush) Bushner. I am glad to have known you.
