Hi freinds. I made another video similar to this in Hamilton Ontario where the escort was even better! ruclips.net/video/nM2ZQj6YjiA/видео.html
bombs away!
Too short and too high. ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
warbirdresto bloody hell, what an absolutely terrific RUclips download. Marvellous!!! Thank you.🇬🇧👍
Oh yes, please, please, pleaaaaaaaaase !!!!! 😉
warbirdresto are you in Hamilton? Is this plane open for visitors? I love to gawk at it if I’m allow. 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
I am English, and very old. The sight and sound of these aircraft is music to my ears, and quite emotional too. I had an uncle who flew the Mosquito, as a”pathfinder”, to drop flares on the target before the bombers arrived, and to photograph the results of the raid. He survived the war.
Ditto. My uncles aircraft had 4 marlins but the sound is awesome with 2
I am Canadian. And very old. My dad, who came from a small town in North Ontario flew 2 tours in a Mossie. He flew in the Battle of Britain. He was a squadron leader and a DFC holder. He also was awarded a Caterpillar medal - the small medal given after a pilot’s life is saved by a parachute. I also get quite emotional watching this and my respect for what these brave young men did grows deeper every year.
All the best from a Canadian friend.
When you built a bomber faster than fighters, you can say you did a very good job.
Rado 243 be like:
You don't need Machine-gun...
And one initially rejected by the War Office…
and made of wood!
Too bloody right!
Thank you for not putting shitty music over the sound of those Rolls Royce Merlin engines!
Great comment!
That would be blaphemy.
the sound of engines is music to them who love airplanes!
No kidding....drives me nuts when they do that
@Andrew Ongais Three is transcendent, the 3rd being the Hurricane flying formation for a while.
The plane was built by cabinet makers who were unemployed at the time. To quote Jeffrey De Havilland “ the best. Piece of furniture Britain ever built “.
Sawbridgeworth.. On the essex/herts border I think.
@Jolly Rancher Hitler didn't want it in his house... 👊🏼🇬🇧😉 😂
They were not unemployed. Their furniture factories were redeployed, and production was outsourced to many places in the country so that supply would not be disrupted by the loss of one factory in bombing. It did make use of underused resources and did not take away from factories needing scarce aluminium.
Goerring loved them. Hitler was supposed to have asked what he needed to beat the RAF. anything. Goerring replied; “a squadron of mosquitoes”. Hitler walked out the meeting. The jet engine was built to counter it in the end.
@@shaunbrown85 That was the Mosquito raid bombing Berlin during a Goerring radio Broadcast in 1941
This was the aircraft which brought my mother and father together, working for DeH. at Stag Lane. My Dad was an engineer on the shop floor, whilst my Mum, just a slip of a girl, had swung herself a job in the drawing office. (She knew J. De H). They met and fell in love through one of the most extraordinary aircraft Britain ever produced. This is a wonderful video.
I think that the Stag Lane factory was no longer in use by WWII. The Mosquito was built at DeHavilland’s Hatfield facility
A huge thank you to the owner, the resources and commitment AND the folks who painstakingly got her looking and flying so beautifully again!!! What an absolute treasure!
I was gonna say, that interior is pristine. Well done to all who contributed to that effort..👏👍
Go the Kiwis.
That, children, is the sound of your freedom.
Flown by men barely out of their teens. Unbelievable.
@@66secularistreal men, not today's crybabies, rest in peace all of them, especially those still lost, like my wife's brother, lost over norway in his Halifax bomber 1944.
As I watched this takeoff I thought of all the crews that flew the Mosquito during WWII, and especially the poor souls that didn't return. RIP. Superb video. Thank you.
Simonize41 .... Guy Gibson was one of those. Crashed over Holland.
REF: THE AMIENS RAID. one of the RAF's finest went down with his Mossie on that day.
Luckily the mosquito brought most of the crews home. 👍
My uncle died in one - a night fighter - they encountered a Heinkel 111 over the Thames Estuary at night on 15 September 1943 and sadly both aircraft were consumed in a big explosion when the Heinkel blew up.
I can't help but smile, watching this. I agree with you about the Mossie pilots that didn't survive. The day that the Me-262 first sortied, it announced itself by shooting down 2 Mosquitoes. My Mom's cousin flew a Mosquito. I honor ALL the airmen who fought in the sky; it was a dreadfully dangerous job.
Ah, the sweet sound of roaring Merlin's, gives me goosebumps.
48 Morons disliked this,The old boys who were young Pilots in WW2 would disagree and am Proud of each and everyone of them wether they Piloted the lanc,The Spitfire ,The Hurricane or the Mosquito they are all Heroes and owe them a dept of thanks for their Sacrifice and those who survived to old age ,Respect and lest we forget 💕💕💕Thank you for your service also 👏👏👏👏👏 To the 48 dislikes MAKE LIKE A TREE.
I agree. You have to remember that these men were in fact young lads who pretty much walked out of school and into a uniform. A week or two training in a bi-plane then they were given the keys to a 200mph Mozzy/Spit/Hurr/ or any of the 4 engined bombers etc and told to make sure they brought the aircraft back. I can NOT imagine todays teenagers being able to do that. Respect to all the older generation who defended our shores in both wars.
Stephen Powell my father got his RAF wings when he was 18. He flew P40 (didn’t like it), early mustang (under powered), hurricanes (loved it), spitfire (the Ferrari of the skies) and Typhoons (big bad and dangerous). His only regret was that he never got to pilot the Mosquito.
I'm sure my great grandfather who fought in WW1 said the same about my grandfather who fought in WW2. Maybe we should be grateful teenagers aren't expected to kill each other en masse because of the lunacy of men in ttheur 50s and 6Os
181 morons now.
Jealousy I guess it's the usual motivator for bad behaveour
Perhaps one of the reasons is that they would have preferred to see the aeroplane from the outside, as would I for at least part of the time (though I certainly wouldn't go as far as to 'dislike' the video). In fact I enjoyed seeing Hurricane formating and then turning away more.
I lived through WW2 in the UK apart from the first 4 months but as a baby and pre-schooler :) so I well appreciate the sacrifices that enabled me to live a good life. In fact a cast aluminium Mossie sits on the shelf above my desk as I type.
One of the most beautiful war planes made. Thank you to all those restoring and maintaining it, those that fought in her and all those that did not return. Thank you for sharing, her memory lives on :)
IMO , not "one of".......but THE most beautiful.
Way back in the 80's, a patient of mine had been the pilot of a Mossie. Great bloke and I'll never forget his description of how huge the White cliffs looked when he was coming home, shot up and low on fuel. Huge respect to all of them.
A fellow British car club member flew these in WW ll AFTER he flew a full tour in B-24s. RIP Roland (Bush) Bushner. I am glad to have known you.
one of the most beautiful aircraft ever built
THE most genius.
What do you mean one of ?
@@bermudarailway5469. Of course, but for me it's a jewel.
@@bermudarailway5469. Of course you can talk about P51, Spitfire, but I have a special love for the Mosquito. That's my mind, it's not a"racism " for others. I LOVE him.
The Mosquito was the brainchild of the genius, Sir Geoffrey DeHavilland. It was his idea to design the aircraft to use as little metal as possible as this was at a premium in WWII. As a result he built an aircraft capable of over 400 Knots. It could outrun a spitfire with one engine shut down and was the fastest thing in the skies until the Me 262. It is also my favourite aircraft in the whole world and a truly magnificent machine. One other thing, it was also the inspiration for the A10 Warthog!!
Love the sound of those engines at full throttle. What I wouldn't give for a fly along on that plane.
As a kid growing up in the 60's, my Dad took me to see 633 Squadron in the theater. I have loved the Mosquito ever since. What a glory it would be to score a ride in this beauty!
My dad also took me to see 633 squadron i the 1960s and I also loved the aeroplane.I also love the P51 mustang.
Great movie. My brothers and I watched it as kids. We always said the one guy looked just like George Harrison. But the music was outstanding! And I too have been a Mossie fan since!
Wow - in my front room but I was there in the cockpit! When he pushed the throttles forward and those Merlins sang the hairs on the back of my neck stood up. What a fabulous experience - brilliant experience in one of the finest aircraft ever made. Thank you so much.
How could anyone ever give this video a thumbs down? It is simply stunning, and those engines.....
Mossie with a Hurricane in trail! EXCELLENT! Like the Gunsight, restored to perfection. Beautiful line-up on the airfield, hope were shown more vids of the gathering. THANKS!
I am almost speechless. Beautiful video, thank you so much!
BEAUTIFUL !!!
Such a shame that we do not have an airworthy Mosquito flying in our skies above Great Britain.
No Wellington bombers either!!
There used to be a flying Mosquito in the UK but it crashed a few years ago, some sort of engine problem was the cause.
@@jjsmallpiece9234 I think that was the one that did a maneuver that caused the engine to flood and konk out. ruclips.net/video/2aVZMNw6u2U/видео.html
wayne murphy
There are some guys in New Zealand who would happily make you one for somewhere between nine and eleven million dollars.
One flew over us in the late 80,s early 90,s at ml7 5tt my dad and I both seen it
A close friend's father flew Mossies as a navigator, being transferred to a Pathfinder squadron after a tour on Wellingtons in which his plane suffered damage several times but, due to its immense strength, managed to get them home every time.
His Mossie never even suffered a scratch in 2 tours. He always said that that plane saved his life.
One of the most fabulous aircraft ever built. Period.
What a truly beautiful aircraft and the sound of the two Merlin’s engines is something else. The reason they were mainly built of wood is because the aluminium was becoming scarce due to the war effort, but that wasn’t the only thing built of wood. The vampire jet was also built of wood. Regards John
An elegent "warbird" for a more civilized age.
Born just after WW2, the sight and sound of "classic" warbirds brings back childhood memories of staring out of my bedroom window, watching the "movements" at Hendon Aerodrome, prior to Jets replacing "REAL" aircraft.
Nice video! Good cockpit shots! Thanks!😊
Fantastic! Thanks so much for posting. Great to see the cockpit of the aircraft my Grandad was a navigator in during the war. (29 Squadron)
Brilliant. Top quality and what an experience. Takes me back to when I was 18 and served on stations where Mosquitos still operational. Many thanks.
Awesome!!. My dad was Navigator in a Mossie FBvi with Ian Linney, to see this & experience flight is fantastic, well done to everyone involved
That sounded so good through my headphones. ^_^
Even though you made this post a year ago I do have to agree with you 100%, headphones are a must.
dat #MerlinASMR
It was great going along for the ride and seeing the instruments operating and the pilot working with the trim, throttle and so on. It sounded really good too!
AWSOME one of my favorites RAF aircraft!! Love the sound of the engines!
Great vid..really amazing to see the inside of the plane particularly the cockpit..thank you
What a beautiful restoration! Thanks to everyone involved in bringing this iconic aircraft back to life, and those engines sound just fabulous.
Back in the 1980s my car used to be serviced at a small private garage in Trowbridge UK where one of the mechanics was a retired aircraft engineer who used to tune merlin engines during WW2 . Boy do I wish I had invested time to talk to him - perhaps I would have learned something valuable!
I love airshow, to be able to go out and see these old warlords is a treasure
No music, no commentary - perfect. Can you smell it?
Goosebumps!! I just visited that Virginia MIlitary Aviation Museum in September and they flew the Mossie the weekend I was there. I love that nearly every plane in the museum still fly.
A fabulous video of an iconic warbird thankyou so much for this
Very nice sound and vision. Thanks for sharing.
My dad who is 88 years old started work in 1944 aged 14 in a drawing office in Walthamstow in East London. His first job was tracing AO size drawings of the tail section of the Mosquito for some reason and because of this it has always been a special aircraft for me. Thanks for this great footage.
I think Weybridge had a huge drawing room, wings could be drawn full size for airliners. As former draughtsman we would draw actual size, but they were forging tools.
What a lovely video of a rare flight. Thank you so much!
My grandfather used to fly across to Sweden in one from Scotland in ww2 always wondered what inside was like thanks for sharing
Absolutely wonderful! That's fabulous footage and the closest sadly that I'm ever likely to get to being in the cockpit of a Mosquito. The sight of the Hurricane on your port side was the cherry on the cake, and then the sight of all the warbirds lined up as you came in to land, superb.
Really cool!!
I hope I can see in my live and can fly from Germany to USA!
Thanks for the cool flight.
He 219 against Moskito was an interesting fight in the night.
A lot of Heinkel 219 get shot from the Moskito.
Good wishes
I saw this formation of Merlins from the ground that year. It gave me a warm, fuzzy feeling. :)
I'm going to the airshow again today, and hoping to also see the Spitfire fly this year.
What a great video. And what a beautiful bird! Love the Mossie!!!
Excellent video. Gorgeous plane, the safest to fly in WW2. Thanks to all who restored her. Well done, indeed.
Most impressed me the Mosquito cockpit with beautiful analog flight instruments! Warbirdresto ....thanks so much .
Truly awesome!!! I felt I was in the plane as well. I could not believe the amount of dials and gadgets in the cockpit, I had imagined it would have been basic but it was really quite high tech for that time. It must have required a lot of training and skill to fly it, and then having to fight off other planes as well is mind blowing. Great video thanks for uploading.
Can’t get the 544 squadron theme out of my head now. Class video.
633 squadron per chance? da-da-da, da-da-da, dah-dah. That one?
Fantastic plane! Thanks for sharing, and greets from the Netherlands!
What a wonderful experience. Thank you.
What a wonderful memorial for my Dad! He was a navigator in Mossies in Burma and thank you, thank you - that's just the view he would have had during operationsas a navigator - it makes it real for me.
Thank you for the amazing ride. Such a beautiful and elegant plane.
That is the most amazing video, thank you so much higher for sharing.
Turn the volume up .Way up.There s no forgetting the Greatest Generation that designed, built and flew these masterpieces.They had balls and they had brains!
Much of the war materials, including aircraft, were built by women. Just as in the First World War, "Balls" clearly do not enter into it.
@@omen828 Many Mosquitoes were built in Canada then flown across the Atlantic to Britain by women who, figuratively speaking, definitely had balls.
Well, that was probably the best on board clip that I have ever seen. Excellent!
Beautiful!
Growing up reading Squadron 633 novels I fell in love with the Mosquito airplanes, getting the opportunity to see how it looks from the cockpit in flight is absolutely amazing! Thanks for sharing!
The sound on take off is just amazing!
Came across this by accident. My Dad - Cprl Bill Patterson was an instrument maker in the RAF 1938 to 1946 and served mainly in Abourkir, Alexandrai Egypt during WW2. This is so amazing to see. Wow. Thanks for sharing
I always wanted to fly one of these. Beautiful airplane! Thanks for posting.
What a great video content and quality! Mosquito was a fabulous aircraft for the Allies. Fast, Survivable, and Deadly
Thanks for that. I served in the RAF during the early 50s and was stationed at a couple of airfields where Spitfires, Mosquitos, Lancasters and Typhoons were still flying. Great memories.
Beautiful sounding British R.R. Merlin Engine's. !!!!!
Goosebumps from London 🇬🇧👍
One of my most favorite aircraft! Magnificent engineering at the time!
Ahh THE Mosquito ! A perfect bird. A Masterpiece. So much creativity in this plane. A jewel of brit engineering.
What a Smooth & Sweet Sound to that Airplane. Thanks.
Grand to see these birds back in the air.
Most beautiful aeroplane of WW2
Name a better looking ww2 aircraft then....
The spitfire was nice, but the mosquito is better. American fighters were all ugly, with only the mustang being decent, and the mostly dull looking bombers, Russian, Italian aircraft were a complete joke before the war started and didn't get better, the Germans had alot of innovative designs, but mostly they ended up looking ugly also, the japanese had dull looking aircraft at best and that includes the zero. Later British aircraft like typhoon, ect never had the clean lines of the spitfire and there's not much else I can think of which is worth mentioning
What about the Corsair? I'm English but still prefer the Corsair.
Christian Buczko
The P40 War Hawk was a beauty
ChorltonM21
Let's not forget the P38 Lighting. Twin engine, dual fuselage. I beg to differ with you.
Escala Coco no not @ all
What a beautiful roar !
What a great plane! Thank you for this video.
Thank You for the blessing....great video of Warbirds from the pilots view.
Thank you so much for putting this on ,she's a credit to. You all not only for the hard work of the people who spend many hours in keeping her flying and airworthy ,but also to the memory of those that took them into battle to become the envy of the German armed forces, long may she keep flying
This past September, I was in Copenhagen and saw the reconstructed Shell House that was bombed by RAF Mossys in the latter part of WWII as it housed the Gestopo and Danish resistance prisoners. Watching the low pass by the hangars gave me a glimpse of what the crews might have seen as the roared in at roof top level over the city of Copenhagen. Thank you!

My 2 fav British birds. Outstanding.
That was a great video! Thanks for posting this.
Such a clear open view of everything ahead, must of been a pleasure to fly!
Beautiful Beautiful plane you're so lucky to have one
Great video! i especially liked the many different view angles, inside the cockpit and looking all around. The Hurricane flying alongside is supercool!
stunning ! must have taken a lot of time to refurbish . well done everybody . still gobsmacked !!!!
OK ,Thank you for update . Still stunning ! Well done to everybody for new build !!!
I love the hurricane flying in close formation!
Wow. We used to see the Mossie over Welwyn, UK, way back. Sadly it crashed some time ago. The cockpit view in this video was amazing. Most of the wartime aircraft were built near here, at Leavesden or Hatfield. From Mr. Goering, CEO of the Luftwaffe:
In 1940 I could at least fly as far as Glasgow in most of my aircraft,
but not now! It makes me furious when I see the Mosquito. I turn green
and yellow with envy. The British, who can afford aluminium better than
we can, knock together a beautiful wooden aircraft that every piano
factory over there is building, and they give it a speed which they have
now increased yet again. What do you make of that? There is nothing the
British do not have. They have the geniuses and we have the
nincompoops. After the war is over I'm going to buy a British radio set -
then at least I'll own something that has always worked.[104]
Ta, Wikipedia.
'The grass is always greener...'
Those nincompoops got both the Russians and the Americans into space, and without them America would never have got close to the moon.
Neil Wilson you should move there too! Jackass! Bye!
johnny rotten and where is this utopia you plan on moving to?
johnny rotten how do you know that I wasn't the first? Hopefully your move works out well, though undoubtedly there will be things that you will miss from old blighty.
I can't begin to imagine the time and effort it takes to maintain and fly one of these wooden beasts, but I hope you never lose the desire to do so.
Cheers, eh.
C.C.
Probably one of our best aircraft in WW2
I've heard that Merlin hum many many times but have never seen (or heard) a video like this which indicates what it sounds like in the cockpit. Amazing - it must be such a buzz to fly this (wish I could fly !)....excellent video !
I'm so jealous as I'd give my right one to be able to fly it. Very good clip. More please
Thank You, beautiful de Havilland FB 26 Mosquito. De sound of the 2 Merlin's. Amazing!! Cheers
Awesome video!!! Thank you for uploading it.
What a bit of footage. FANTASTIC !!!!!
It really looks and sounds like a high performance machine. Love that hum of the two engines.
Recoil Spring I saw a video of a Mossie flying on one engine!!
That Hurricane would never have kept up with the Mosquito on an actual mission. Worthy Merlins, you can feel the power of their torque in your headphones 😊
That’s awesome! Nice surprise seeing the Hurricane alongside. Beautiful. Thanks
Excellent💯👍👏 landing
That's called Old is👑 Gold🏆. Very Well experienced old ace pilots.
Brilliant video. Thank you. M.
Absolutely stunning aircraft not that you can say you have a favourite from the era but the Mossi might just be it.
A magnificent plane from the second world war. probably my favourite. An amazing insight and video. The Hurricane tagging along the icing on the cake, well done!!!
one of the greatest clips ive seen
