Incredible a truly magnificent sight it was probably one of the best air craft designs of it's time, and the very first multi role combat aircraft. Hats off to Geoffrey DeHaviland
Hardly the first multi role combat aircraft. Beaten by the Bristol F2 (Bristol Fighter) of 1917. The F2 was used as a fighter, reconnaissance and light bomber too. The Mosquito merely followed a trend of British versatility. Building something for one job and finding that it's very capable in other roles as well.
It' ashame that Tony Agar devoted so much time and money having this machine restored to flying condition with no intention of letting it grace the skies. How ironic and dare i say it shameful that North America has more airworthy Mosquitoes than the country of it's birth.
Pretty sue that the old original construction, in plywood and glue, is not deemed testable for airworthy, especially so not here in the UK? Newly built fuselages are the only way

I think we should thank the guy for bringing this plane to this condition, rather than decry it being non airworthy.
IMO the best aircraft of WW2
This is awesome, as a youngster I built loads of models, this is my favourite aircraft and always has been thank you for sharing
Glad you enjoyed it
Whats with the trundling around like a lost shopping cart?Why is it not flying after the big buildup?
This aircraft is not in an airworthy condition
The wooden wonder, unbelievable aircraft

It's a shame that the last airworthy Mosquito Britain had was destroyed when the pilot seemed to forget how to fly it properly.
So your plan is just to drive it around like a truck for display purposes only not actually airworthy yet
Is that an nf2?
Looks like an HS2 antenna on the nose.
Why don`t Tony Agar want to let this airplane to fly again.
Is this aircraft able to fly??
Unfortunately not - taxi only and if you have a spare £1000 - enjoy
Please can elaborate, thanks. @@andyb2515

@@hbw7615 The Mosquito is based at East Kirkby airfield in Lincolnshire. You can pay £1000 to have a taxi ride in it
Shame it can never fly again.
