De Havilland D.H. 98 Mosquito Super Video - 46 min

Sit back and turn up the speakers, as you’re in for over 40 minutes of pure, uninterrupted twin Merlin music from Flying Heritage & Combat Armor Museum’s de Havilland Mosquito , “Wag’s War Wagon.“ The FHCAM’s Mosquito was built in Leavesden, England, as a training aircraft in 1945. The plane was among the last of the type to be retired from RAF service in 1963. Turned over to the Imperial War Museum (IWM), the Mosquito appeared in the 1964 film 633 Squadron. After filming, the plane was displayed in an IWM facility until 1988. The plane was traded to the FHCAM in 2003 and sent to Avspecs Ltd. In New Zealand for restoration to flight status. It returned to the skies in late 2016. While the plane retains some aspects of a trainer, additions were made to give the Mosquito the appearance of a wartime fighter-bomber.
