The Sopwith Camel Was One Of The First World War's Deadliest Aircraft
Close up video with great sound of an iconic WW2 aircraft landing
Renown warbird pilots Keith Skilling and Dave Phillips put the Jerry Yagen-owned de Havilland DH.98 Mosquito through its paces and then come in to land several times -- view the action from up close!
Powered by two Rolls Royce Merlin engines, the largely wooden Mosquito was one of the fastest twin-engine fighter-bomber aircraft of the Second World War, capable of reaching a speed of 589 km/h. Photo: Historical Aviation Film Unit
This video shows KA114 performing a number of landings at Hood Aerodrome in Masterton (New Zealand). The aircraft was displayed here in January 2013 before it was finally dismantled and shipped to its home at the Military Aviation Museum in Virginia Beach in the USA.
Subsequent to KA114's restoration, a bomber version of the Mosquito has been restored and flown in Canada, and AvSpecs have completed their second Mosquito restoration (TV959) meaning that there is now a world-wide population of three airworthy DH.98's.
