This video has no audio:
Almost 7,800 Mosquitos were built around the world and the aircraft filled a variety of roles from fighter-bomber, bomber, night fighter and maritime strike to photo reconnaissance. The FB Mk 26 variant was a purpose built strike aircraft that was heavily armed, with 4x 20mm Hispano cannons and 4x .303 Browning machine guns mounted in the nose.
No. 487 Squadron Royal New Zealand Air Force: Formed in mid-1942, No 487 Squadron RNZAF saw service in the European theater operating the Lockheed Ventura and de Havilland Mosquito. The unit would fly more than 3,000 operational sorties before the end of the war when it was disbanded.
The squadron was established under Article XV of the British Commonwealth Air Training Plan, which allowed for pilots trained in Australia, Canada and New Zealand to be placed into units under the overall command of the British Royal Air Force. While operating as part of 2nd TAF, No. 487 Squadron would participate in Operation Jericho, the raid on the prison at Amiens aimed at freeing members of the French Resistance.
The squadron’s Māori motto was “Ki te Mutunga”, which is translated into English as “Through to the End.”

Two large engines closely followed by a small aeroplane, but no Merlin song?

[@Liddledriver]

If thhe Spitfire had two engines it would be a Mossie.

No sound?? Are you _seriously_ putting a video out of a Mosquito without any sound? 👎👎
