It's a shame that they destroyed two real Mosquitos during the making of this movie. Even if they were not airworthy.

@YDDES To make an ommeletta you have to break some eggs.

[YDDES]

@asgrrr Yes, but You don't make omlettas out of eggs from an endagered species...

But, I know, this was pre "Battle of Britain" and the interest in old aircraft had yet to awaken

[asgrrr]

@YDDES It wasn't an endangered species back then ;)

[YDDES]

@asgrrr Well, I think they used all the flying examples they could find to make this movie. One "T.III" (trainer) and two "35" (bombers). They also had two taxiable "35's" which they destroyed, plus some statics in background. So, there wasn't many Mosquitos left even then. Now no flying examples exist. The "T III" was destroyed in a fatal crash and the "35's" are in museums.

[YDDES]

@MrBigj1970 Yes, I yhink 2 were exported to USA in flying condition, but have any of them flown for many years?

I've not heard about the Belgian Mosquitos.
