The People's Mosquito - Restoration Update August 2020

- The People's Mosquito is a UK registered charity dedicated to getting a DH.98 Mosquito flying once again in the UK www.peoplesmos...
In the latest video update on the restoration of our de Havilland DH.98 Mosquito FB.VI, we go behind the scenes at Retrotec to show how some of The People's Mosquito vast collection of original technical drawings are being used to support the construction of new fuselage moulds.
The film provides an idea of how de Havilland's technical drawings are indexed. In effect, engineers are navigating a vast family tree of assemblies and sub-assemblies to get to the right branch and the essential detail needed.
This research by Retrotec's engineers is pivotal to ensuring full compliance with UK Civil Aviation Authority regulations regarding the remanufacture of a Mosquito airframe to OEM specifications.
So while physical progress continues to be made on the moulds themselves, behind the scenes, research continues to identify the next phase of work required, helping create workpacks for use by the UK CAA-accredited technicians.
All this behind the scenes work requires time and funding to complete. As we work towards returning a Mossie to UK and European skies, everything we do simply isn't without your support.
To support this vital research and help fund the completion of our fuselage moulds to original de Havilland specifications, please visit www.peoplesmos...
We can't do it without you.
The Mosquito was my 'home in the air' from March 1943 to Decdmber 1944, She brought us home safely every time
Lovly work,I wish I was there to help. Keep Up the good work! Cheers, R. Lander
I can commiserate with you on the aspects of research, (try 15 years worth). The worst part of this endeavor is the lack of help from the Public Records Office, Hendon, and other library sources.
Perhaps with the dawning of so many such projects the libraries will open up from 'classified' to 'what can I help you with?'. Best of luck.
Fantastic. Very well explained. Thank you for all the hard work.
Thanks for the feedback Gary - credit goes to largely to the team at Retrotec, especially Gregory Boon for helping us pull these films together. We'll be sure to share your kind comments.
Very nice demonstration on how complex a job building a Mosquito is. Thanks for sharing. Best Wishes & Blessings. Keith Noneya
Top stuff, as a CAD engineer myself this is really interesting, and the Mossie is my favourite aircraft. Keep up the great work.
Is this being built from the blueprints found in the Airbus offices in North Wales? Either way, well done for hopefully bringing a British WW2 Icon back to life.
These guys ar legends i slaute you
Really enjoying your presentations.
I could look @ these all day, wish I had them! TFS, GB :)
So what are you going to do for engines?
USB sticks... only ever go in on the third attempt?
Looks like more wood was used to produce the drawings than built the aircraft.
Oh man is there anyway of getting my hands on those drawings? Are you gonna share the digitalized version?
Those drawings are from the Mossie museum. As I recall there isn't much on the wing. Glenn Powell had all of that. You could get in touch with the Windsor Mossie group, they have copies. Someone needs to do the work and transfer everything to Solid works.
We actually hold more than 23,000 de Havilland drawings - arguably the world’s largest technical resource of Mosquito-specific data in the world. We also acquired full Cad modelling and all the jigs necessary to complete the wing construction when we come to that stage of the restoration. For now, all efforts are focused on completion of the fuselage and that requires the moulds.
@@PeoplesMosquito The Canadians built the best mould. It was cement, unaffected by heat and humidity.
@@carbidegrd1 Actually concrete moulds were made in all countries producing the Mossie (UK, Can & Aus) as the war progressed and necessity to ramp up production. Sadly none of these exist, all broken up and we don't believe the designs for them exist anywhere. Hence using the plans for the original approach. Many people often point out there are broken concrete Mossie moulds at South Mimms DHAM museum, but these are in fact for the Hornet. No there's another beast :-) ....
@@johnlilley2777 The Canadian mould existed until the early 90's in Statford Ontario. The Windsor group just missed it. It was dumped along the shore of Lake Erie as part of a breakwall the Windsor group flew out to Halifax to look for the crash sites of two Mossies. They found them and recovered some parts. There are still 8 more lost in the lakes. After the war the aircraft and parts were sold off cheap. The Windsor Group and Tony Agar found sets of Radiators out there. That is one of the toughest things to find.
Why do the ads stream right away and yet the video doesn’t…. Bloody youtube…
Thanks for the video, very interesting. You should have worn gloves!
I have an 80imp gallon wing tank in my basement (1943)! It is looking for a home. I would hope it could be useful to someone building one. No-one in Canada seems overly interested. Let me know!
No....seriously!
Tell me who to send a 3D scan to if you like! Point cloud or .stl?

Are you actually trying to restore a mosquito to airworthiness?.
Hi Alan, we are indeed. We’re restoring a former 23 squadron NF.30 lost after take off from RAF Coltishall in 1949. We’re actually restoring as an FB.VI (the two marques share the same lineage). Not much of the original airframe is salvageable to airworthiness, the airframe will be new build of course, while we’re also acquiring original Mosquito components from around the world. Retrotec, our engineering partner in the restoration, are renowned for the authenticity of their airworthy restorations, so we’re proud to be working closely with them. Feel free to contact the team or visit our website www.Peoplemosquito.org.uk/campaigns for further details.
Im so happy, the third air worthy Mosquito, here in the uk. Cant wait to see her fly.
Sadly there are no airworthy Mosquitoes in the UK Alan, which is why we’re restoring RL249. There is HJ711, a Mosquito NF.II owned by Tony Agar, which has been restored to taxiable condition at East Kirkby, but that’s largely an original airframe so will never be certified to fly. Restorations have been completed in NZ for the US market, but the advantage of building here in the UK is we can do so with a UK CAA A8-21 certified engineering partner in the form of Retrotec.(plus our supporters can visit the restoration as she takes shape).
@@PeoplesMosquito Thank you, I was ment to say the third in the world would be here in the uk can you visit the Mosquito that only taxi's?.
Yes, you can (or at least will be able to again once restrictions allow!) They have specific open days too when she runs up - www.lincsaviation.co.uk/ for details. There’s actually three Mossies flying in the US now and Bob Jens’ original B.35 in Canada is potentially airworthy although she hasn’t flown for a few years now. Our UK-restored Mossie will be first in Europe for 25+ years. :)
I've been getting notifications of new posts on this channel, but there's never anything of the sort.
Hi there - apologies for any confusion. We've been testing some new functionality using UA-cam ahead of our live free webinar on Saturday 24th October.
There's no confusion, just annoyance...
I've unsubcribed. I'll look you up manually from time to time, that should solve the problem. You don't post that frequently anyhow...
@@zootsootful Yea mate same here, have had enough to be Honest with you going to the high court about this
@@morganokeefe9319
The high court?
I don't know quite know what to make of that comment...
@@morganokeefe9319 Huh?
