  • would be great if you could make another video of this featuring the take off and fly by!!!

  • Great to find this video, I was at the auction in '81 with a friend when it and other great aircraft were sold. The mossie went for as I recall £440,000, a snip at twice that!. The auctioneer departed the event in his private Spitfire doing a long run down the grass strip then up straight into a victory roll. We were goggle eyed, great day, great sights, great sounds! Hope it's being well looked after.

  • I saw this Mossie in 1979 on a trip to Strathallan. The only other people at the musuem were a couple from the US, he was a Colonel in the Confederate Airforce. I suppose being where it was meant that it could not run forever with no funds. Sad to see the collection dispersed

  • Is their a mosquito in the world still flying today?

  • I got to sit in this one when it came up to the ex RAF Banff to open the FLying Club there. Some wonderful low-level passes along the old runway. How I wish someone would get one of these birds in the air again!

  • Analogue video shot in the days before the analogue camcorder became available.

  • Why the hell do we not keep a Mossie in the UK , next to the Spit and Hurri its got to be the most advanced aeroplane of WW2

  • What do you call the trolls who thumbed this down?

    The targets.

  • Best plane of the war!

  • Engin start, take off, and fly bye make the hairs on m yneck stand on end!
