My favourite restored Mosquito, KA114, first restored beauty, out of New Zealand. Watch her, the best vid of ANY Mosquito , taking off, back in New Zealand, with record views. GREAT!
I’ve never seen a Mosquito with both props turning in the same direction. If I remembered correctly, the early P-38 prototypes all had this same config, before being fixed as the inertial drift made the plane banked slightly to the right/left depending on direction of prop rotation. I sure hope this wasn’t intended lmao
Only British contract P-38s had props rotating in the same direction. This, in addition to deletion of the turbosuperchargers, made the P-38 unsatisfactory to the RAF.
The plane that American Aircraft manufacturers started that as it was built out of wood and old hat, it was not worth building in the US. So wrong they were
My father joined the RAF in 1949 at the age of 16 years 39 days. The Mossie was the first aircraft he worked on. ❤️
All this time I wrongly thought Mosquito propellors counter rotated! Wicked vid. Thanks 🙏👍
The pilots said " a lot of rudder was required on take of ".
I'm not a pilot but this aircraft doesn't half make me wish I was.... apart from takeoff then maybe!
A truly beautiful aeroplane.
I just wanted all the other planes to be quiet in the back ground it's like they didn't know something really special was about to take off
the noises behind the camera are 100% justified
What a beautiful airplane!

WW II version of the SR-71.
Both props spinning in the same direction?
I thought no 1 would turn the other way
On the mossie it was both engines running the same way.
P-38 had counter rotating engines.
