Whether one likes / dislikes this aircraft, there is one fact that is unchallenged. It was an absolutely brilliant concept by the De Havilland people. Looking at the video it is unbelievable the performance of the aircraft from such humble manufacturing beginings. Is it any wonder that the aircraft built after the Mosquito, was the fastest wooden aircraft ever? Simply amazing. Excellent video. Note that there were no workers standing around doing nothing productive!!!!
I think there are several very cool a/c of WWII, the Me 262 and Me 109, the B 17 and B 24, but by far the coolest, has got to be the Mosquito, made of wood, extremely fast, almost invisible on radar, no fighter could catch it, and still could travel extremely ong distances with a bomb load and strafe its way back. I am in total awe how the Brits got this almost by mistake. I think probably one of the best three a/c of WWII. I think they should have built it and not the Lancaster. Really!!!
My Grand father [ Doug Hunter ] was the Engineering Director for DH in Canada he came to Canada in 1939 to build the Mosquito I have hundreds of photo on the build plus all of the test's that were done Thank you ever so much for uploading this video
Awesome. I found yet another Killing Joke tune I like. And thanks for the detailed description of the Mosquito. I had no idea a military plane in an attacking role could be built with wood.
Inane crap ! That's the only way I can describe this travesty. What were you smoking when you attempted to mix this amazing archival footage with an alloy of screeching sounds ! It's not even music !!
Wonderful piece of film and with so much in it to find interest, but what on earth posessed you to dub over this awful music? It is so utterly inappropriate that it amazes me how you could be so crass. Ruined a great archive item imo.

Excellent footage when viewed with sound muted. Do you know where this footage can be found with the original narration/soundtrack?
