Originally designed as a high-speed unarmed light bomber, the de Havilland D.H.98 Mosquito proved one of the most versatile aeroplanes of World War II, serving in a wide variety of roles, and excelling at each and every one. The Mosquito was built almost entirely of plywood, sparing the use of metals that were then in short supply. Powered by two 1,620-hp Rolls-Royce Merlin 25 12-cylinder liquid-cooled vee engines (FB.Mk VI). With an original range of 1,650 miles and a maximum speed at 5,500ft of 362mph.

It is then no wonder that Hermann Goring said "It makes me furious when I see the Mosquito...The British...knock together a beautiful wooden aircraft that every piano factory over there is building, and they give it a speed which they have no increased yet again."

    My first upload in a very long time, I do hope you enjoy and incredibly, bar the weight the original statistics match mine rather well.
