The People's Mosquito has a simple aim: to see the return to the UK skies of the de Havilland DH.98 Mosquito. During the Second World War many aircraft were funded by the people: companies, towns, villages and organisations. We would like to repeat that model by asking the people of the United Kingdom to help us restore to airworthy condition this magnificent flying memorial that captures the spirit, the pride, the design brilliance and above all the bravery of our country.

I know about Burma and such but wasn’t aware the British were that involved in Naval affairs against Japan.
I’m curious as to why they didn’t install counter rotating props ?
Great video. Thank you.
I have Wings on My Sleeve, duels in the Sky, Wings of the Luftwaffe , Wings of the Navy and Testing for Combat where he says that 0.73 Mach in a P47 was a death dive
Actually I think it was the first landing of a twin Engine plane on a carrier not just British
The Kiwis have one flying
What a gentleman. I like to think U.S. Navy Lieutenant James H. Flatley III was channeling the spirit of Capt. Brown while performing test landings of the 4-engined Hercules C-130 on USS Forrestal. "Hefty Huevos".
His biography reads like a work of fiction because it’s literally incredible that one man could have done all that. But of course he did.
This flying hero is patently Scottish - or he would have been dubbed SIR Eric Brown. Shame.
Bril!. Reusable moulds. The only issues I can see are finding all of the ancillery parts and engines!. Great job thus far!.
Absolutely amazing to get this up and running ..! 😊❤
Glyn Powell died a few year ago but the Mossie that he started is nearly finished and hopes to be displayed at Warbirds over Wanaka Nz this easter . An incredible achievement for one man .The firm doing the rebuilds here in is Nz is just finishing off the 4th flying mossie .

R.I.P. Captain Brown
Thank you for the amazing color film. This is perfect for reference when building the Mossie.
Go,man,go.!!!
The drawings were found, and rescued at de Havilland, s old factory ,Broughton nr Chester
I could spend endless hours, days even, listening to that man tell stories. If Winkle Brown thought the Mosquito was a pretty special aircraft, you don't need to ask anyone else about it. About as high a praise as you can get.
Great to see more of the factory/ production too
Well done everyone! What a fantastic effort by everyone involved!
How did P. Anne learn about engineering? I highly doubt she learned anything about engineering at boarding school. Who knows, maybe she took advanced math & science classes outside of boarding school. She's really good at talking to older people.
Fabulous report. Fascinating watching the progress the team are making.

Do you sell his book ?
We do indeed www.peoplesmosquito.org.uk/store/product/resolute-to-war-with-bomber-command/
A Winkle and a Mosquito is quite a combination.
Thank you all.
what a great story teller -- I could listen to him talk about airplanes for hours
What a man, superlatives cannot cover a man of this stature, this is what a hero really looks like. My admiration is unbounded
What a great summary of a very significant thing back in the day....tks much
There is a mosquito flying now,
So what are you going to do for engines?
A shiver as just gone down my spine he died on my birthday
Yes a neighbour was a Navigator in one of these Master Pieces ... and was priviledged to be able to take Photos of its first public display flights with my Hasselblad and 500mm lens on a Monopod . Absolutely amazing if not Menising view of the Siloette as it first came into view attacking Aerodrome at High speed especially with the howl of the merlins at max normal power setting ... Amazing good luck with your Build ...
I recently read somewhere that the Americans wanted the Mosquito with propellers that contra rotated to keep the platform stable. We brits to make things easier for ourselves wanted to keep things rotating clockwise. So a single engined spitfire or Hurricane it’s prop would go clockwise. A mossie having 2 motors also had 2 clockwise spinning props (this also led to the swing to the right when power was applied and to why Captain Brown found the Mossie would invert so quick if an engine failed), and of course the grand old Lancaster would have 4 props all going in the same direction. I have an itch of a question, one of those that seems to crop up now and then. 1 do the 2 Merlin’s need to be synchronised on a Mossie and on a Lanc. Do you have the same issue from a mercury radial engined aeroplane. Please let me know if you can.
I recall visiting the build of Glyn Powell’s Mosquito and amazed at the accuracy he had done with control wire access holes so accurately drilled through bulkheads angled diagonally up through the fuselage from one end to the other. It is a pity he didn’t complete his own build which followed the first one, or maybe he did? I recall seeing an advert of the main structure for sale a few years back I wonder what the outcome was.
But, this is another guess that this is just a mold to make a fiberglass mold and make the fuselage out of fiberglass.
NO WAY are they building this fuselage like the original Mosquito fuselage. The original was planked with thin plywood strips glued to the framework and held with secured metal straps till the glue dried. The method they are using here will make the plane too heavy if they intend to fly.
Eric Brown, a God of aviation!
great pilot and equally great aircraft ,,,,,,The Mosquito,,,,,,,
Winkle Brown just casually mentioñing running into Barnes Wallace? Like Zeus saying he ran into Apollo at the Starbucks...
He 219 didn’t have the mossie performance but did it really need it? It just had to be faster than the bombers. It wasn’t like there was s shortage of targets later in the war. There were 1000 plane raids. Their biggest problem was running out of ammo!
Well yes, if you want to shoot down the target marking or reconnaissance Mosquitos it was a problem. Both would have helped to get the British night bombers off target. Way more effective than shooting them down.
What a guy......
People of his generation are a breed apart from us, today.
What size fantastic memory from a man who simply told the facts and didn't try to talk himself up.
UK carriers were relatively small compared with US ones. The Mosquito was considered rather dicey for landing even on airfields it had to be handled with care with a nice reserve of speed. Yet he put one down.on a carrier.
The US Navy refused to accept Vought F-4U Corsair because its long nose made deck landing difficult. The British took them. Eric Brown came in with a curved approach that kept the deck and batsman in view. No problem at all. Royal Navy loved the aircraft. USN eventually got the message.
Mosquito was sadly underrated by the War Office. It was actually far more suitable for area bombing than the heavy bombers. Two Mossies going what kind heavy could do. We actually only heavies for big bombs like Tallboy. But tell all that to “Bomber Harris” of any of the American bomber generals.
Lol; British Air Force puke talking about Carriers.. Funny to me.
If it was so wonderful, why didn't the U.S. Air Force use it as an escort fighter? Because it sucked in that regard, and P-47's with drop tanks had a longer reach.
