The Mossie

[Jimatay]

I was lucky enough to see it at the Duxford airshow a week before the crash. Blew me away how amazing the plane looked,flew and sounded. I would LOVE to see one fly again.

Never seen it used to its full potential in games though. Would be amazing to see it in BOP because as i said most of the missions on the game are "mossie like"

Hawker Hurricane

De Havilland Mosquito


3 icons. Beautiful aircraft.

^ This I like!
Mine would be

1) Spitfire - I still think it is the greates thing ever created by man!

2) Lancster - You can't really go wrong with 4 merlins

3) Hawker Hunter - So pretty, not a wasted line

Just a shame we will never see a flying Mossie again = (

Never is a very long time. I wouldn't be so supprised if one day someone has a go at restoring one to flying condition.

your wish may be granted sooner than you think


their are roughly 4 mossies that are being restored to flight worthy. ONE was due to be shown at this years classic air show in new zealand, making it the first flying mosquito sine the crash in 96. Unfortunately it didnt happen, but it should be flying VERY soon

Also their is another currently under restoration at Victoria Air Maintenance at Victoria International Airport and is not far at all from becoming air worthy again, vry very close infact.

I believe there are a couple of Mossies undergoing restoration with a view to flying again.

One in New Zealand: http://www.mosquitorestoration.com/

And this one in Canada: http://www.mossie.org/VR796.htm

I'm not at all suprised actually. Once the last of anything that special is gone but still replacable, People will go that extra bit further to have it and see it again. Even if it takes much time, effort and a whole lot of money.

Well I got to fly the blenhiem today! The heavy bombing is actually pretty fun, but thing obviously moved like a tank, I'm gonna need a lot of cover doing that in multiplayer! I can't wait to see what the B-17 flies like though, anyone got to that point yet?

Wrong thread my friend, by the way any sign of a mosquito in the game?
