DH98 Mosquito FB.VI This fine restoration is on display at the De Havilland Aircraft Museum, at Salisbury Hall, London Colney. The heavy armament of the type is shown here, with the 4 x 303" Browning machine guns and the 4 x 20mm Hispano cannon demonstrating the fearsome punch of this WW2 fighter-bomber. DHAM also has two other Mosquitoes on display. The People's Mosquito is currently building an FB.VI to flight status; see www.peoplesmosquito.org.uk #DHAM #dehavilland #DeHavillandAircraftMuseum #WW2 #fighterbomber #RAF #RoyalAirForce #LondonColney #UK #England #museum #aircraft #avgeek #aircraftphotography #photography #ThePeoplesMosquito #history #aviation #aircraftrestoration

De Havilland Mosquito TT.35. The last 'flourish' of the DH Mosquito was a post-war target tug, converted from the last bomber version built, the Mosquito B.35. This example hangs in the roof of one of the hangars at the Imperial War Museum, Duxford, United Kingdom, wearing the classic 'anti-camouflage' of the target tug, silver upper surfaces, with bold yellow and black stripes. The swift Mosquito was an ideal aircraft for towing aerial targets! There is no longer a flying example of the type in Europe, however, The People's Mosquito (a Registered Charity) is now building one!

DH98 Mosquito B.35 This particular Mosquito represents the last bomber variant of the Mosquito, the B.35. Only two RAF Squadrons operated this type, both in the post-war period. However, they had a relatively short Service life as a bomber with many being converted as target tugs, designated TT.35. This Mosquito has since been moved to the RAF Museum's Bomber Hall. There are several Mosquitoes flying in the USA, and The People's Mosquito charity has just completed a set of fuselage moulds in the UK, as they begin to restore one of these beautiful aircraft to flight status.

De Havilland Mosquito FB.VI The Mosquito FB.VI of WW2 was the most- produced version of the Mosquito, with 2,305 built. It performed as a long-range 'heavy' fighter, maritime 'strike' fighter, day/night intruder, radar equipped night-fighter and unarmed high-speed courier aircraft. Starting as an unarmed fast bomber the Mosquito family grew to include photo-reconnaissance, target tug, 'pathfinder' target designator, weather reconaissance, naval torpedo/strike fighter and more. Only a handful of Mosquitoes have been restored to flight status, but a Registered Charity (No.1165903) 'The People's Mosquito' has recently completed the first set of fuselage moulds in the U.K. in 72 years, with the intent of returning a Mosquito to flight.

A good view of a navigator at the bombsight of a De Havilland Mosquito. The Mosquito was initially proposed to the Royal Air Force as an unarmed, extremely fast, twin-engined bomber. It went on to also serve as a fighter, nightfighter, fighter-bomber, photoreconnaissance aircraft, target tug, naval strike aircraft, trainer, fast courier aircraft and more. There are no flying examples in Europe, but The People's Mosquito (a Registered Charity) is currently restoring one to flight status - see www.peoplesmosquito.org.uk for details. #DeHavilland, #Mosquito #WW2 #SecondWorldWar #RoyalAirForce #RAF #bomber #trainer #fighter #TPM #ThePeoplesMosquito #aircraftrestoration #aircraft #aviation #avgeek #history

#MastodonMosquitoMoment This wartime photograph shows a number of DH Mosquito B. Mk IV lined up, prior to a daylight raid on an enemy target in Europe. The B.Mk. IV was the first bomber version of the Mosquito to enter service with the Royal Air Force, and these aircraft are from No. 139 Squadron, RAF, the second unit to be equipped with the Mosquito bomber. Initially used on daring daylight raids, the bomber versions of the Mosquito had no defensive armament, and relied on sheer speed to evade enemy fighters. The People's Mosquito is restoring a fighter-bomber version of the famed Mosquito in the UK. #RAF #RoyalAirForce #bomber #BomberCommand #DeHavilland #Mosquito #WW2 #history #Europe #aircraft #avgeek #TPM #ThePeoplesMosquito #UK
