    So very long since I saw one of these flying! Last time was at Farnborough just before it crashed killing both crewmen. It is so nice to see one flying again.

    Give yourself a true treat and crank up the sound and watch this short video.

    I laugh in the face of danger - then I hide until it goes away!

    Thanks David. Wonderful film, would love to have been there! The sound of twin Merlins is music to the ears.

    Now that was some sound. The Mosquito in front and a Lancaster behind. 6 Merlin's.

    I need to finish that alternate-history where Chennault is able to perform his test of "fighters vs. bombers", with the result that the big, heavy, four-engined bombers are consigned to long-range patrol work, while everyone works on creating "stripper" bombers like the Mosquito (two engines, 2-3 crew, ~2,000 lbs. bombload increasing to ~4K over the course of the war, little to no defensive armament, speeds in the 350-400 MPH range).
