I hope people appreciate the immense effort, talent, and money that went into this restoration. The construction methods for this plane are mind-blowing. Huge thanks for the video. This is one of my very favorite planes.

There are only THIRTY of these things left. It should be in a museum, not flying. People who spend the "immense effort, talent, and money" are just doing it s a vanity project. It is time to stop flying these old WW2 aircraft.

[@talon0863]

@@timothyhouse1622 I say fly them

[@thunderstruck5484]

Those Merlin engines and nose cones give it such a “tough” look thanks for posting such great content on your channels

[@davidmalsher4038]

Thank you spencerhughes2255. You did a wonderful job of coping with the bright sunshine. It was wonderful to witness the event, but thank God there are people like you around to capture it for others less fortunate who couldn't attend, and for those of us who could attend and now have our memories preserved on video. Thank you again.

Great video Spencer. My daughter and I really enjoyed your video. It was a pleasure meeting you today. When my O-2A is ready to fly I would be honored if you would be there to take the first flight video.

[@hughthomson6201]

One of the most beautiful aircraft ever built - if not the most beautiful. A pure thoroughbred from the outstanding De Havilland works.

After seeing photos of her remains rotting in a Chino storage yard twenty years ago I never thought I'd see PZ474/NZ2384 fly again. To see her flying at Chino is a real "pinch me!" moment. Thank you for this wonderful video Spencer.

Very Badass Plane.

First Mosquito I've seen fly at Chino. Where was this restoration done?

[@MrDaiseymay]

NEW ZEALAND, THEY ARE ON THEIR 4TH RESTORATION.

[@willberestartingthischanne9984]

Is This In Orange County?

[@spencerhughes2255]

Almost. Western end of San Bernardino county.

[@ME-wq8lq]

Wonder what it was like firing all those guns right in front of the cockpit....

[@MrDaiseymay]

NOISEY, HOW ABOUT THE 6 POUNDER CANNON SOME OF THEM HAD. THE KICK USED TO REDUCE THE PLANES SPEED

[@willberestartingthischanne9984]

I Love Your Channel

You did nice job at this like all your videos, brought back memories of 633 squadron, got to watch it again 👏 😀

[@willjoy2819]

Those are some seriously dialled Merlin's...

[@KernowekTim]

Magnificent. A supreme and highly appreciated marvel of expertise, effort and sacrifice. Bravo for breathing life into the old girl.

[@agf7destined424]

I would love to buy that!

BETTER START SAVING

[@andrewmead12]

My mum's best friend's husband flew Mosquitos during the war. In his study was a propellor blade from his Mossie, complete with 20mm cannon shell hole from a FW190 he had a run in with over Germany in early '45. I was gobsmacked. Obviously, he won and the FW 190 lost. Brilliant!!!

[@geb2989]

Absolutely Wonderful...

[@superkjell]

The Mossie gets my vote for greatest aircraft of all time! Beautiful, fast, capable of so many different things, beautiful, great sounding, fast. Did I mention the speed and the beauty?

[@markallchorn2438]

Great video, nice to see the props spinning at the right RPM, sadly so many aircraft posts show them wrongly. Superb 👌

[@andrewwilson7671]

Thanks for posting this! Was hoping to make it out there, but son didn't want to go last minute. I used to fly Cessna's out of Chino.
