DeHavilland Mosquito -Geneseo Air Show 2014

[@nationalwarplanemuseumatge2704]

Such a beautiful plane, very happy it joined us for the show.

[@horsemoney]

Yes, I agree with you there, that was the only reason I came to your show for the first time. After the first time there this became my favorite Airshow to go to and the announcer in this video is my favorite as he doesn’t try to talk over the aircraft flying past like most do. The last couple of years I was there, 2018 & 2019 you started playing the music way too loud. The sound of those old engines is the only music people come there to hear. I love those old warbirds, but I have to admit, I missed seeing Rob Holland there the past few years I was there. Hopefully next year you will get back to your Airshows they way they were. I would love to travel back there again to my favorite location for an Airshow. It’s well worth the trip from Virginia.

[@nationalwarplanemuseumatge2704]

@@horsemoney Rob Holland has been at the last 2 and plans to be next year. Coming off a great year and W7 birthday next year the show looks to be shaping up. Music definately has been an issue, and the announcing needs upgrading.

Fantastic, another great vid of this unmatched beauty of the skies, and still deadly.

Aircraft unlike most things in life remain forever young.

[@MrDaiseymay]

Excellent filming--almost as good as the restorer's official film, in New Zealand. a MAJOR PLUS , WAS THAT WE NOT ONLY DESIGNED THE RIGHT PLANE FOR THE JOB--WE WON ALL THE BEAUTY PAGEANTS AS WELL. GOERING WAS FURIOUS

[@YourHomeTorontoRealEstate]

This is really my favourite Channel! Thanks for your nice Videos, it is very enlightening, Waiting for your latest update. De Havilland 'Mossie' Park

[@horsemoney]

Sure wish I got to see the Mossie fly more often, non at Oshkosh this year. They did fly a Spitfire and Hurricane yesterday, but they were hard to see through all the smoke left over from the Aero Shell Team before them.

[@neilhutchinson187]

Excellent video - Thanks for sharing.

[@TheSirjohn2012]

This always reminds me of that old 1964 classic of the movie 633 squadron.

[@mischef18]

Saw that film in 1965 in Christchurch NZ and in the foyer they had an engine from the actual 633 squadron. This plane flew over our town here in NZ before heading off shore and I remembered the sound of those Merlin's strait away before it came into view. There has been another one rebuilt and flying since this one was done.

[@MrDaiseymay]

@@mischef18 yep---and a third one completed too. Thanks to the genius of those New Zealand guys, keep 'em coming . AND, also, another in the UK ''The Peoples Mosquito''. well advanced.

I've seen her up close at the Military Aviation Museum in Va Beach..I'd definitely recommend a trip down there. Mr Yagen has an extraordinary collection!

[@barrierodliffe4155]

Beautiful plane, bomber, night fighter, fighter bomber, strike fighter, photo reconnaissance plane and so much more, it could fight against Luftwaffe single engine fighters as a fighter bomber, fly to Poland for photo reconnaissance, drop a 4,000 lb bomb on Berlin, sink ships and submarines shoot down V 1 flying bombs or hit small difficult targets. The most versatile plane of the war and the USAAF used them as well as several other British planes even if they do not like to admit it.

[@CopperCityPatriot]

Okay. Now I am convinced. I am definitely going to Geneseo 2018, for the Air show.

[@horsemoney]

If you are into aviation photography, Geneseo has excellent lighting, it's probably as good as Oshkosh only a nicer setting.

[@CopperCityPatriot]

We stopped there in July of 2017. Some aircraft were off on an air show. But the place truly is amazing. Blue sky day with a few clouds. Got some great images of Memphis Belle as they were testing the engines.

[@nathanielambriz8946]

So cool😎

[@Hellooooo-123]

Beautiful

[@alexsoma3720]

I remember the stories my grandfather told me... The icy feeling of sheer terror when one of these came down strafing their lines... Silence and all of a sudden they were on you and gone just as quickly. A terrible machine if you happen to be the target, he highly respected the Mosquito and considered it even deadlier than the Spitfire, both worthy nightmares.

[@MrDaiseymay]

Good recall. I remember a similar case of a German infantryman's story, in the 1960's. About after the D-day landings. He said if we heard a familiar but distant sound, Looking up, and seeing a small plane at great height, circling round. We knew, it had to be a Mosquito; After dashing for cover, it swept down at great speed and straffed us with machine gun bullets.

[@alexsoma3720]

@@MrDaiseymay exactly what I meant... I can still see his eyes while sitting comfortably at home his mind was still in the battlefield that very moment, powerful flashbacks.

Does it sound better than it looks or looks better than it sounds? - take your pick!

[@MrDaiseymay]

BOTH OF COURSE

[@dhy5342]

Beautiful aircraft and excellent photography. This plane could carry the same bomb load as a B-17, with 8 fewer crew, and then fight its way home. Only American/Boeing vs Great Britain/deHaviland politics prevented it from achieving the potential it should have had.

[@barrierodliffe4155]

The Mosquito certainly achieved very much, far more than any US plane, Hap Arnold took plans of the Mosquito to USA hoping to get it made there under licence but no US manufacturer could understand it, Hap Arnold also gave orders that USAAF pilots in the P 38 should not fly alongside Mosquitos

[@raymondperrault5821]

Some mosquito pilots even shot down some FW 190s, I saw the cun camera footage but i can't find it anymore.

[@MrDaiseymay]

What ''POTENTIAL'' did it fail to acheive ? name a plane with a higher achievement

[@dhy5342]

@@MrDaiseymay it "failed" in that the extreme numbers of B-17s and B-24s eliminated the requirement for constructing and utilizing more of them. Had there been less American aluminum present there could have been far more Mosquitoes in the sky, doing the same job better, faster, and with far fewer crew losses. It didn't fail in what it did do, it failed in not doing all that it could have done.

[@hemi57]

What a spectacular aircraft. The wooden wonder flies again. Although I've not compared the two, I do wonder how the Mosquito sized up to the P38 Lighting in that era. If someone has done this research, I would be interested to know (outside of the obvious - metal vs wood).

[@uberme163]

+2006 Rubicon The amazing thing is it was build out of wood. A non-strategic input. It was 20 knots faster than the Spitfire fighter. A beautiful example of British engineering.

[@barriehunt8179]

+2006 Rubicon Very difficult to compare the two, other than being twin engined and high performance they were totally different. The p38 was a fighter and more manouverable than the Mosquito. The Mossie though was a fighter bomber/attack aircraft and could carry a huge payload as well as mix it with fighters.

[@horsemoney]

[@martinell7672]

@soaringtractor: The original designed bombload was 4x 250lb. It was doubled to 4x 500lb in 1942, months after entering service, and by 1943 had the fuselage rebuilt to carry a 4000lb bomb. The Mosquito was faster until the advent of the P-38 L. The climate made the P-38 the best plane for use in the Pacific, but the Mosquito was the best plane to use in Europe.

[@MrDaiseymay]

@@martinell7672 I guess like most things new and versatile, WAR in particular, forces Designer /maker's to accelerate and evolve their new product, to be able to accomplish new targets in speed, ( at all Heights) carry larger Bomb loads than expected, and perform new fetes like low level flying, (avoiding radar) a steady bombing platform etc etc. Not many front-line planes, lasted throughout the whole war. As a type, this IS one of those planes.

[@Tarten21]

how come there is only 5 exhaust ports each side the Merlin is a V12 so 6 each side or have I missed something.

[@closer2theheart684]

beckalouise09 When they fitted the longer Merlins in the Mosquito, they had to keep the exhaust well away from the wooden structure, so 5 & 6 were combined into one.

[@rmrtxchl264]

Tractor, what is it that gives you so much pleasure from being so irritating? To EVERYbody? You argue points that have no point, condescend to all, apparently think that there is One Overarching Truth about what brought about Allied victory in WWII. I'm an American military pilot who served over 20 years, knew lots of fellow military members who had kids and were still deployed overseas. I think the Spitfire, Hurricane, Mozzie, Lanc, et al, are/were outstanding aircraft, no matter the origin of their engines, whether the bolts tightened clockwise or ANTI-clockwise. P-51's, P-38's, and P-47's (the aircraft my father flew over Normandy beach on D-Day) were ALSO outstanding aircraft. For their intended purposes. For criminy's sake, cool down! Sometimes you're actually right, but no-one takes you seriously because you're just acting like an ass! NO-ONE, even AMERICANS, want to read your drivel when presented that way. You're not changing anyone's mind about anything. The politics of WWII were not just from the Brit side. FDR was an evil SOB, just happened to be American. HE caused a lot of what you bitch about. Moderation, dude, and appreciation where it's appropriate. DUUUUUUHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH !!!!!!!!!

[@1946nimrod]

A subject on which you have much expertise.....

[@harrycurrie9664]

I want to ask why ever did it sit in a field in Canada rotting away for so long.

[@MrDaiseymay]

Nobody thought the shell could be made without a moulding, BUT, a New Zealand guy made one, and off we go.

[@wilburfinnigan2142]

KA 114 is a FB 26 built originally in Canada EH ! with the PACKARD Merlin engines ........FYI.......

[@kevinpalmer7174]

Sorry Wilbur but you've got that wrong. It was as in the commentary says built in New Zealand. At Avspecs workshop, Ardmore Airfield, Auckland, New Zealand to be precise. Also FYI the fuselage for the Canadian restoration was also built at the same place. There is also another Mosquito on the way from Avspecs. NZ has the moulds for the building of the fuselage - no-one else does. The moulds were built from copies of the original plans. Not sure where the engines came from except they were originally Spitfire engines from Australia( I think).

[@wilburfinnigan2142]

Kevin Palmer Actually...the ORIGINAL KA114, a FB26, by designation was built in Canada, with the Packard Merlins !!! This plane is NOT a restoration !!! It is a reproduction !!!! The only thing original to the plane is the data tag !!!! Hardly a restoration !!! Engines did come from Aussie land !!! Origin unknown as both RR and Packard engines were shipped to Aussie land !!! My original statement is correct !!! This plane is no more a restoration than the Me 262's built by the Me262 project In Everett Wash .!!!!!!! It is what it is !!!!

[@kevinpalmer7174]

I was not aware that you were referring to the original KA111 - not clear in what you wrote unless I read it wrong. I thought your comment was regarding the commentary at the airshow and I was responding in that vein. I think that there was more than just the data tag that was original but I'm not sure. Regardless, you'd have to agree that it is a magnificent aircraft and the workmanship is superb. I had the privilege of seeing it up close including inside the cockpit here in NZ and the sound of those twin Merlins is something to behold especially when it passes directly overhead about 200 feet up at around 300mph. That was in Tauranga, NZ 19-12-2012 if my memory serves me correct. My videos are on another computer so can't confirm that date.

[@wilburfinnigan2142]

Kevin Palmer so what is your point ??? The plane flying today is nothing original, it is a reproduction made with mostly new parts and scrounged pieces, engines etc !!! What I said about the original is true, and yes I have read the history of that plane !!!! I just wrote what has been written about it !!!

[@kevinpalmer7174]

There is no need to be abusive and derogatory. I stated my points of reference in my comments. Let it go man.

[@Love2FlyKAP]

Is this the short nose version? I see only 5 exhaust stacks.

[@woooster17]

[@GeosJackson-fi1pd]

soaringtractor why are you still here? Just go away you haven't proved anything, also the spitfire was better than p-51 hands down, also stop getting your facts from google there mostly not correct and my opinion is the mossie was better than the b17, a pretty ugly plane, so just go back to America please!!

[@derekambler2314]

B17G cruised at 180mph, the Mossie at 350mph, the managed 2 sorties a day to Berlin. ie. 8000lb = 2 Cookies and did not suffer the horrendous losses that the B17's did.

[@nigelknight6003]

What's a skeeeeeter Mr tourette ...ASS.....FUCK oops sorry.

[@raymondperrault5821]

Actually wilbur, mosquitos had a really good survival rate, thats why they didn't have to build them by the tens of thousands like the B-17s and B-24s that were shot down in huge numbers. There Boscombe Down test documents that have fully loaded mosquitos doing a bit more than 400 mph. These of course have the 2-stage/2-speed superchargers. When they put merlin 61 engines in a photo recon mosquito (mark 8) it reached 436 mph.
