Thanks BD - beautiful aircraft. I feel with all the sims out there at the moment, the RAF are a bit left out in the cold - where are our Lancs, Wellies, Mossies, Typhoons and Tempests? One day I hope :D

If you can stand the overbearing music, the official de Havilland documentary is also quite thorough and informative.

For those that are interested in the Mosquito, this is a great place to visit:

http://www.dehavillandmuseum.co.uk/

Was formally known as the Mosquito Museum, but they have obviously widened their scope since my last visit. Hidden away just off the M25 by the J23 South Mimms Services, but easily found once you know its there.

Thanks for the heads up Guido :nice: this is one museum I must get to in 2018,especially as it's only a small journey on the M25 from Windsor where I live.

Thanks Guido :) I popped that down as a possible visit by ACG on the Saturday before Duxford - maybe we'll do it this year?
