Thought you might be interested in this. From newspaper dated 12 July 2012 (Sorry about the quality of the scan) Proposed flight date Saturday 29 September. Will be waiting
For anyone here following the progress with Mosquito KA114, I would humbly suggest my forum has some of the most up to date information and photos on it. The latest photos are on this thread: Wings Over New Zealand - Mosquito Roll Out Today And here is the air display poster:
Ooooooh... Delightful to see one so close to the sky. 16 Years with no Flying Mosquitoes has been too long I feel. Great stuff, and the best of luck to them for the 29th.
Looking and sounding brilliant! Is it just me or did the tail wobble a bit when on higher throttle towards the end of the clip? Hope this isn't a problem and she can fly soon. As Adam says, 16 years is too long. All the best for the 29th.
Ooooooh... Delightful to see one so close to the sky. 16 Years with no Flying Mosquitoes has been too long I feel. Great stuff, and the best of luck to them for the 29th. I couldn't agree more! Well done and good luck. What a thrill that would be to sit in the starboard seat.
Just back from the airshow. Absolutely Fantastic. Awesome to see a Mosquito in the air. I'm sure there will be plenty of video on youtube shortly. Worth a look.
Got a good pooter sound system? Maybe a sub-bass? Crank it up: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rGfQQWOsoB8
Awesome... I was at a Duxford show some years back where they had a static Merlin and Griffon and were merilly throttling them up for the crowd...
Saw the mossie at Armistice in Cambridge day doing a run on the mock Uboat nothing quite like seeing and hearing it for real...
Found in a farm outbuilding in Suffolk. Evidence in Camera - 1st. January 1945, dedicated to the Mosquito. http://www.ww2talk.com/forum/attachment.php?attachmentid=95763&stc=1&d=1356021920

**** BUMP***** I was tracking down a post of mine on this thread from 8years ago started by Von Poop and thought the Thread interesting enough for a "BUMP" now that there are a few more flying these days. The "history" and what it could do are in my post #13 from 2006. A truly amazing aircraft. Cheers Geoff
