(see previous comments)received an email from him today. I was lucky enough to have flown beside Tony in this self-same aircraft. EGNR to RAF Valley (via the odd lake, bridge and mountain!). An experience to end all experiences. Never to be repeated or forgotten.
Does anybody know if we'll ever see one of these beautiful aircraft fly again? I have happy memories of watching this particular mossie approaching at tree-top height over the countryside and thinking it sounded much more fearsome than a spitfire!
I have got the drop on the lot of you - my father was a night fighter flying Mosquitos from 1943 - 1945 over North Africa and Northern France - he loved flying that - he had spent the previous year flying Beaufighters.
I've got photographs of this day with the Mosquito flying below treetop level. One of the best airshow displays ever. Amazed to come across this clip.
Interesting to see the Lancaster on the ground Believe it's hangar collapsed on top of it under the weight of snow destroying it after it had been moved from Strathallan to Manchester.
Is there really nobody that can get a Mosquito flying in the UK again?......this clip shows us what we are missing.
The hairs on the back of my neck are standing up now , what a glorius sound of twin merlins !!

I read in an aircraft mag that there should be one flying by next year. Hopefully that'll be the case.

A relative of mine was at Banff Strike Wing in 1944-45. Aircraft like the above are great memorials to such men.
